Senior Project Wind Deflector Design for High Rise Buildings, Fall 2010- Spring 2011
Worked with a group of 4 people to devise the best wind deflector design that would mitigate the
turbulence intensity to increase efficiency of wind turbines on high rise buildings. We also
performed multiple stress analyses on the design using FEA on Pro/E, as well as CFD analysis on
SolidWorks for wind flow characteristics over the building (with and without the deflector).
Together we built the deflector based on FEA and CFD results for actual field testing on top of the
Duncan Hall building at San Jose State University. Our team concluded that turbulence intensity
decreased when using the deflector in comparison to when no deflector was used.
Computer Chip Thermal Analysis, Spring 2010
Analyzed a computer chip model using Excel to perform the required calculations. Numerical
Project analysis was utilized to study the response of the computer chip under specific thermal conditions.
LED Lighting System Design and Optimization, Spring 2010
Designed and optimized an LED lighting system using the program EES to perform the required
calculations. Pro Mechanica was used to perform a thermal analysis on the various components of
the lighting system. Also, an optimization analysis was carried out to optimize the maximum
amount of lumens in ratio to the least amount of money required.
Towel Bar Holder Optimization, Fall 2009
I built a towel bar holder model using Pro Engineer and ran a stress analysis which was run for two
purposes. One being to check convergence of the analysis, and the other to optimize the towel bar
holder model to produce the minimal amount of mass to be manufactured.
