Electromechanics & Simulation
I'm Khush Patel, a Mechanical Engineering student at Johns Hopkins University focused on electromechanical systems.
My technical foundation spans CAD design in SolidWorks and Creo PTC, finite element analysis in Ansys Workbench, computational fluid dynamics in OpenFOAM, and simulation in ROS2. I write control and analysis code primarily in Python, leveraging NumPy and SciPy for numerical methods.
Outside of work, I enjoy going on hikes, running, weight lifting, and finding new bike trails!
Currently looking for opportunities in robotics, computational engineering, and electromechanical systems for Summer 2027.
Experience
Professional experience applying engineering principles in real-world environments.
Summer 2026 / Etters, PA
Amphenol / High Speed I/O Connectors
Designed and analyzed high-speed connector components in SolidWorks, ran FEA simulations in Ansys to optimize for mechanical durability, and applied tolerance stacking with GD&T principles to make sure everything was manufacturable. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to conduct design reviews and implement DFM/DFMEA best practices. Work directly contributed to products supporting hyperscale cloud, AI, and data-center applications.

Robotics research at the intersection of computational control and agile systems.
Prof. Joseph Moore / Department of Mechanical Engineering / Johns Hopkins University
Contributing to research at the AIRO Lab, which develops robust, highly agile robotic systems through computational autonomy and intelligent control. The lab's work sits at the intersection of computational control, computational physics, and machine learning to enable robots to operate reliably in complex, real-world environments.
My work in the lab focuses on CFD simulation and analysis relevant to the lab's agile robotic platforms. I set up, run, and post-process high-fidelity fluid flow cases to investigate flow phenomena and inform design decisions.
