Player Piano – An automated solenoid driven device that operates a piano without any physical alteration

Delegated tasks as a mechanical systems engineer in a multidisciplinary team of mechanical, electric, and computer engineers to ensure the project’s success and meet deadlines

Designed and developed the mounting system for all 88 solenoids used to actuate the piano keys

Developed a dampening system using compression springs and O-rings to reduce the mechanical noise produced by the energization of the solenoids

Fluid Dynamics – Predict and measure the force on a pressure plate oriented perpendicular to a stream of air

Created a theoretical model of the system in Matlab to predict the force excreted on a plate as a function of distance

Designed and Fabricated the mounting assembly of the pressure plate with vertical distance adjustability Mousetrap Car – A mousetrap powered prototype of a small car

Integrated an adjustable breaking mechanism which could bring the car to a stop at a desired distance Heat Transfer Case Study – A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) system for a house

Modeled the core of the heat exchanger to meet prescribed air change rate and sensible effectiveness Professional Experience:
