PORTFOLIO
3D Printed Lattice Structures Project
From Fall of 2016 to Spring of 2018, I conducted research on 3D printed lattice structures, like shown in the video. I produced and tested many test specimens and published two papers with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). I published these papers in ASME's annual International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, in both 2017 and 2018.
​
Schneider Electric Project
In the Summer of 2017, I worked at Schneider Electric in the R&D Department for data center research. I spent the majority of that Summer developing a software tool that customers could use to optimize the performance of their data centers. Developing this software tool required me to conduct thorough research, and design a user interface and the accompanying analytical framework.
TATA PROJECT
In January of 2018, nine of my fellow classmates and I traveled to India to work on two different engineering projects with companies in Hyderabad and Ahmadabad. I worked as the lead mechanical designer on a team with four other mechanical engineering students on one of the projects, which was improving a newly designed water desalination system. These desalination systems are designed to operate in rural area in India where the ground water is highly saline. The goal manufacturing cost for the system was $3000/unit, and our final design will save them an estimated $600/unit. To the left is an image of one of the villages that utilizes these systems, which we visited on our trip.
CARROT MYTH PROJECT
Have you ever heard that you can bite through a finger with the same force you use to bite through a carrot? This video will help answer that question. I made this video for my Instrumentation and Experimentation class. in which we were supposed to pick a common myth to bust, using the skills we attained through the course. Beware the silliness of this video from a young sophomore Gian.
