About Victor Ke

Experience UIUC RADWEAR/WEAR Study Undergraduate Research Assistant • Worked with Abdul Alkurdi, Maxine He, and Dr. Manuel Hernandez on wearable anxiety monitoring devices • Handled logistics of RADWEAR study by emailing surveys to participants and inspecting collected data from E4 and Hexoskin devices using Python. • Assisted in testing process during WEAR study by setting up EEG electrode caps and applying conductive gel UIUC Residential Technology Services Network Technician • Conducted wireless troubleshooting with various application and computer errors for students over email • Performed ethernet service and network jack activation and answered questions to aid students in dorms • Supplied printer maintenance in computer labs around campus to ensure organized and functional lab spaces Illini Solar Car Mechanical Team • Part of team to research ideal aerodynamic shapes for potential solar-powered car designs and models • Learned NX Surface Modeling using raster images to create 3D shapes of airfoils and cars • Conducted simulations using SimScale to model heat transfer and airflow over aerodynamic surfaces ME370 Rope Walker Robot Lead Designer • Developed sloth-like robot in Creo powered by a singular motor to walk along cable for class competition with the creative limitation of not using wheels for mechanism • Performed PVA analysis on robot leg linkage system using MATLAB to highlight and correct potential issues with the hand’s motion path and calculate its overall speed • Created acrylic prototype using laser-cutter after experimentation with other materials due to the material’s durability and efficiency in a moving mechanism ME370 Kinetic Sculpture Lead Designer • Created miniature kinetic theme-park model in Creo by designing a giant drop ride and ferris wheel linkage mechanism powered by a hand turned crank • Optimized giant drop ride model by manipulating mechanism links using path synthesis in MATLAB to produce a quick return of the giant drop • Manufactured critical links and gears of prototype theme-park model using 3D printer for model assembly
