Experience

Columbia University, New York, NY June-August 2009

Fu School of Engineering and Applied Science

Lab Assistant, “Solar Concentrator Project”

• Studied the effect of a concave mirror (solar concentrator) on an evacuated glass tube designed to harness the sun’s energy

• Constructed heat exchanger and Lab View program to determine heat transfer and efficiency of system with and without concentrator

• Used data to analyze if the concentrator was cost effective

Fordham University, Fordham College New York, NY June-August 2008

Lab Assistant

• Studied the effect of Ultraviolet Radiation on light sensitive materials

• Assisted in perusing goal to develop an “indicator” to inform a person when he/she was in danger of too much sun exposure.

Fordham University, Fordham College New York, NY June-August 2007

Lab Assistant, "Color Changing and Lasing Stretchable Cholesteric Films"

• Applied lasing to different liquid crystals to study the frequencies of light absorbed and reflected, while the crystals were under tension

• Participated in a Research Symposium at Fordham University, which involved communicating the theory of the project to attendees that came over to my poster

• Publication: Peter V. Shibaev, Pierre Rivera, Dashiell Teter, Salvatore Marsico, Martin Sanzari, Veena Ramakrishnan, and Eckhard Hanelt, "Color changing and lasing stretchable cholesteric films," Opt. Express 16, 2965-2970 (2008)
