DARPA REVCON International Student Challenge - Field Reversible January - October 2015 Thermal Connector Competition

Developed a thermal connector that integrates phase-change heat transfer via an embedded pulsating heat pipe.

Designed a 3D CAD model of the titanium thermal connector using SolidWorks

Implemented tests on a 3D printed thermal connector prototype

Investigated the thermal performance of the heat pipe using SolidWorks’ thermal simulation

Performed finite element analysis using ANSYS Simulation

Manufactured small copper parts to complete the fabricated Ti-6Al-4V heat pipe Energy Systems Design

Completed several comprehensive design projects requiring engineering decisions, data acquisition, and codes/standards compliance.

Designed energy systems components such as heat exchangers, piping networks, and pumps.

Efficiently adhered to the codes/standards during the design process. Mechanical Systems Design

Designed a new mechanical braking system for FedEx’s cargo dollies used in conjunction with the dollies’ old braking system.

Identified the existing problem on the old FedEx braking mechanism.

Analyzed and solved the problem by implementing a simple and effective design found through research and brainstorming.

Received positive feedback from FedEx engineers after successfully presenting the team’s solution to the braking system.
