• Build solid skills and experience in mechanical engineering by completing successful coursework and practicum in machine design and development, renewable energy engineering, thermodynamics and thermal fluid systems, linear systems, biomechanics, robotics, mechanical vibration, mechatronics systems, sensors and transducers, microcontrollers, engineering machine hydraulics, energy infomatics, solid mechanics, and fabrication.• Collaborated with team of five mechanical engineering students for UGA College of Engineering Capstone Project to design experimental system of mechanical ventilation into lung models and analyze lung compliance. o Sourced mechanical ventilator during challenging availability due to global pandemic. o Designed and 3D-printed lung models illustrating multiple respiratory conditions, including restrictive and obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and pulmonary edema. Used materials allowing for close representation of human lung and bronchi elasticity.o Built and tested lung models using Rice University ApolloBVM open source emergency ventilator plans. Built casing, wire and soldered chipboard, coded user interface, and 3D printed all mechanical components to compress BVM. Ventilator enabled team to control respiration rate (I: E ratio), and tidal volume to test within multiple parameters.o Placed 3rd in the Biomedical Engineering Capstone Category.• Completed football launcher project for Introduction to Mechanical Engineering class. o Built launcher for mini foam football to go through mini field goal poles set at maximum distance. o Used skills in AutoCad, testing, prototyping and budgeting.
