Students were tasked with the objective to move a can of soda across an 800 x 300 mm area. I collaborated with my team members to design a device utilizing a rotating platform and rack and pinion to move the can. The design process was completed...

I tested the thermal distribution of a hypersonic concept vehicle benchtop model by wrapping a heat tape around the model and in other instances by using a heat gun and monitoring the heat using both an infrared camera and a set of thermistors. I...

I modeled the laminar flow distribution using Ansys Fluent of an existing channel design based off of microfluidic channels. I modeled new channel designs to improve flow using SolidWorks and once again simulated the flow pathlines with Ansys. The...

I built off the work of a previous member of the research group in updating the motor system used for an assembly table. I resolved mechanical issues with the new design, specifically relating to correcting for interference issues with the shaft...
