EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Engineering Honor Society (EHS) - Member

Fall 2009 - Spring 2011

Association of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) - Member

Fall 2009 - Spring 2011

SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT

H2GO - The Untapped Energy Source Fall

2010 - Spring 2011

. Designed an energy conversion prototype that uses the potential and

kinetic energy of falling water to propel a model car as far as

possible. Performed finite element stress analysis on the design

using ALGOR in order reduce stresses developed and also, to prevent

failure. Performed dynamic analysis and used MatLab in order to

obtain optimum design dimensions to further increase its

efficiency. Used ProEngineer/SolidWorks to design several

components that were later manufactured using Rapid Prototyping.

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

Rice University, Nanophonics Research, Houston, TX

Summer 2010

Surface Plasmon Propagation of Gold Star Shaped Nanowires

. Demonstrated experimentally the surface plasmon propagation through

plasmon-exciton interaction between single star shaped nanowires

and a thin film of fluorescent polymer. Utilizing a confocal sample

scanning microscopy method it was determined that the emissions of

the fluorescent polymer were amplified near the surface of the star

shaped nanowires by exciting the end of a single nanowire using a

532nm laser.
