PROJECTS & RESEARCH
September 2011 – May 2013, Railroad Vibrational Energy Harvester Development, Energy Harvesting and Mechatronics Laboratory in Stony Brook University, Research Assistant
Sponsored by Electric Truck LLC. / Harvest NRG, the DOT’s Transportation Research Center (UTRC-II), and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Advisor: Prof. Lei Zuo.
• Designed and developed three energy harvester prototypes for railroad track applications. Worked from conceptual to detailed design, using both Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor software. Manufactured 3 prototypes, designed experiments, and performed testing on the prototypes. Both laboratory and in-field testing were conducted.
• Improved the efficiency and power harvesting capabilities of our competitors – increasing efficiency from 25% up to 70%, and increasing power output from 2 Watts up to 50 Watts.
• Performed dynamic, stress, power, and fatigue analysis of various components, and analyzed dynamics of track motion.
• Two ASME papers publicized as first author and M.S. thesis written based on this project.
• National Award – Energy Harvesting and Storage USA 2012. Congressional Honor received from NY representative Timothy Bishop.
• Two patents filed – both commercially licensed: US Patent No. 201******** (2nd patent pending)
June 2009 – August 2009, Tactile Surface Characterization, Kaneko Higashimori Laboratory at Osaka University in Japan, Researcher
NSF sponsored independent research project to develop methods for tactile surface sensing using an accelerometer mounted onto a robot vehicle.
• Developed robots to capture tactile surface information - programmed microncontrollers, assembled sensor and actuator systems onto a vehicle body.
• Designed and analyzed experiments which includes utilizing a high-speed camera to capture comparative acceleration data. Used Matlab, Excel, and
Sept. 2008 – June 2009, Viscoelasticity Modeling, Stony Brook University, Research Assistant
Research assistance to Dylan Tsai in developing the latency model for viscoelastic materials
• Performed physical and mathematical analysis for a practical dynamics problem involving friction on a rotating body.
• Operated a servo-hydraulic testing system and programmed experiments to test viscoelastic properties.
WORK EXPERIENCE
June 2008 – May 2009, Advanced Optowave, Design and Drafting Intern
Laser engineering company reputed for developing diode pumped solid state lasers located in Bohemia, NY.
• Drafted 2D layouts based upon ASME 14.5Y standards, GD&T, and manufacturing perspective.
• Designed liquid cooling plates and laser mounting plates more resistive to the effects of thermal expansion.
• Exposed myself to some of the work in other departments such as R&D, production, and inventory management.
