Environmental Research
CurrentEnvironmental Research June 2015-PresentAlternate Energy Research • Researched and hypothesized theoretical ideas on Betz law to determine if alternative wind energy was worthy of its intense amount of research by algebraically manipulating the equation. • Found that deep ocean currents hold a great intensity of energy by using flow and density.Potable Water Research• Began researching ways to purify water in harsh weather conditions and climates by studying basic and non-basic techniques regarding water purification. • Conceptually designed a dirigible water collection system by using aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, structural analyses, alternative energy, and weather data.Capstone Design Project (Westerly Town Beach Pavilion) September 2014-May 2015 University of Rhode Island, South Kingston, RI• Collaborated with the environmental team at BETA Group, Inc. to redesign the Westerly town beach pavilion that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.• Overcame the fundamental challenges of working alongside a team of nine colleagues and took a leading role in managing the timeline and quality of the project.• Presented our design with my team members in front of forty board engineers using a creative and engaging narrative.
