Hello there, my name is Raj! I am a student in the MEng program, studying Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Product Design. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from San Jose State University, where I focused most of my efforts towards helping build a few Formula Student race cars. Along the last few years I’ve nurtured a skillset heavy in thermal design, data analysis, and high-level product architecture. At UC Berkeley, I’m challenging myself to endeavor into the medical device industry, hoping to develop a competency in human factors engineering. I also plan to visit the woodshop often to craft some furnishings for my home. For recreation, I enjoy the following activities—brewing coffee, browsing for vinyl records, editing photographs, and consuming/cooking different cuisines. Above all, I value fostering relationships and engaging in meaningful conversations, so feel free to contact me at raj_thimmareddy@berkeley.edu.
