I was a member of the Dartmouth Formula Hybrid Racing Team (DFR), an entirely student-run organization that designs and produces award-winning formula race cars and competes in the Formula Hybrid Competition held by the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) each May. I led a team of six Dartmouth engineers to develop an advanced paddle shift gearbox that seamlessly integrated the innovative electric motor with the traditional gasoline engine using a solenoid based shifting system.
