Hi, my name is Alexander Kovar, and I am a Senior studying Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University.Skills are built with practice, but failures highlight changes we can make in all aspects of life. I practice consistent and active listening to avoid failure and create new understanding. I treat life like music. I listen, learn, and improvise.In college, I had three enormous opportunities:During my first year, I joined the Iowa State Solar Car team, where I learned so much applicable engineering knowledge that I would not have learned or done in the classroom. I had incredible experiences when I went to solar car races and during large projects with demanding deadlines to make creativity flourish. During my Sophomore year, I got to work at Ames lab in the Critical Materials Institute. There, I learned how to do high-impact research that challenged the United States' dependency on rare earth materials by moving to more accessible materials. I was also noted as the second author of a research paper where I collected data from Soft magnetic materials I created.In the summer of 2024, I was allowed to work for Superior Tube Products as a Manufacturing Engineering Intern. There, I learned about lean manufacturing and how to collect cycle times on operations at different work centers effectively. I compiled these into master lists for all part numbers in the plant. I made standard work layouts for the most effective way for an operator to complete a part. This makes it easier for a new operator to learn how they should complete their labor. After these were finished, I estimated all of the burdens in the company to figure out the difference we made for Superior Tube Products and it totaled out to 132,000 dollars.I enjoy playing stringed instruments, Ultimate Frisbee or basketball, writing, art, and traveling to unique places in my free time.

Ames, Iowa, United States
As an undergraduate researcher at Ames National Laboratory in the Critical Materials Institute, I develop more understanding of new ways to use less critical materials in our lives. This position has definitely reinforced and defined new ways of understanding metals.To explain what I do on a day to day basis, here are the basics:Tensile testing "dog-bones".
United States
As a student researcher at Ames Lab I help develop new alloys and perform tests on them to validate their performance and uses. A lot of the alloys I am working to develop are utilizing critical materials that are beneficial for the technology that has changed our lifestyles in the past 75 years. The alloys I currently research include High Entropy Alloys.

Before starting this position, I did FEA on roll cage designs to determine a design that would survive load cases based on regulations from the solar car race officials. I looked at research papers and material property documentation. Each FEA study was performed to find several different values (equivalent von Mises, principal stresses, deformation, and.
Ames, Iowa, United States
I am a member of the mechanical team for PrISUm. When I first joined the team, I started working on the Dynamics team, building brakes and fixing the suspension. I got respirator trained the following spring and began making composite parts. I was also elected safety director and was selected for the American Solar Challenge race crew in 2021. During the.

The solar car team requires a good level of experience in sanding, body filling, and mold manufacturing. Then, the composites manager must understand polymer chemistry well to ensure the team makes high-quality composite layups.I demonstrated all of the above by leading other members to create a 5X10 ft mold using a positive foam plug to a negative.
United States
As Treasurer I manage the budget and fundraise for the team. All purchases the team makes must be well understood. With my previous experience as a mechanical team member, Safety Director, and finally Assistant Project Director; I am able to further understand each purchase and plan ahead so the team saves money and time building a solar car.As of August.
Ames, Iowa, United States
Organized meetings and team events, some of which included sponsors and alums.I have dealt with legal matters concerning the existence of the team and qualification for the race in 2022.We have secured a significant donation of Bridgestone Ecopia Solar Car tires for the team to get through the race.Stepped up when other directors could not handle their.
Ames, Iowa, United States
Organized training for members to be able to safely work in the spaces that the team occupied.Wrote and implemented an SOP for the safe use of MEKP.Communicated with the University EH&S and various managers of spaces to improve accessibility and quality of the workspaces.
