Description
Suspension for Ohio State’s FSAE team.
  • Helped design and manufacture suspension parts for Formula Buckeyes, the FSAE team of Ohio State University.
  • Secured 3rd overall in FSAE Michigan ‘23, our highest-ever finish since 2001.

Suspension Design (What I worked on mostly).

  • Carbon-fibre control arms to reduce compliance and weight.
  • Uprights: Billet 7075-T6 (manufactured in-house) to reduce stiffness and complexity.
  • 3-piece Carbon fibre rim with 7075-T6 wheel centre (manufactured in-house).
  • Designed and manufactured uprights, mounts, and hard points using the mill and lathe for the control arms and sway bar.
