Undergraduate Research and Projects

Thermosiphon
University of Evansville-Advised by Dr. Douglas Stamps
2020-2021
  • Prepared, tested, analyzed, and researched data for effect of multiple variables in Thermosiphon efficiency while supervising at least eight others
  • Initiated an active cooling system for the Thermosiphon, completed significant evaluation of fluid flow,
    modeling of the pipe network to reduce hydraulic resistance, and prototyping of the heat exchanger resulting in 200% increase in tests per day
  • Redesigned and assembled a ventilation system to effectively control the ambient temperature, increasing test accuracy by 30%
  • Successfully presented at NCUR 2021 on “The Effect of Ambient Temperature on the Thermosiphon
    Efficiency    ”
Formula One
University of Evansville- Advised by Dr. Peter Schmidt
2017-2020
  • Led, designed, fabricated, assessed, modified and reported a water brake dynamometer and a working Continuously Variable Transmission
  • Researched data for effect of different spring constants and clutch weights on the power output of a CVT transmission
  • Created and applied MATLAB code to predict the CVT’s response, decreasing testing time by 50%
  • Successfully designed, constructed, and tested the Formula One Car and competed in the FSAE competition in
    Michigan with satisfying results and various ideas for further improvement
