PROJECTS

Radiation Detection UAV, Drexel University, PA

Designed and constructed a proof of principle device for radiation detection in closed environments. Used a systems

engineering approach to complete the device within 6 months and performed a live demonstration to potential sponsors.

Automated Solidworks Bearing, King of Prussia, PA

Used a Timken database and Solidworks software to create a system that accurately models bearings by selecting type

and main dimensions. This reduced bearing modeling to approximately 2 minutes.
