Engineering Experience
Senior Design Project Spring 2010
Evaluated the current state of carbon capture and sequestering to select the most promising technologies
Led a team of six engineering students and completed work by deadlines
Performed economic analysis to estimate cost per ton of carbon dioxide and considered multiple potential solutions for capturing and storing carbon
Designed a process that captures pure carbon dioxide from coal plant flue gas streams for sequestering
Authored and presented a design report to ABET creditors that outlines recommendations and considers environmental, safety, and social implications of the selected solution
Invited to present the project in the 2010 Capstone Design Conference
Junior Design Project Spring 2009
Designed and built a small scale heat exchanger experiment to demonstrate fundamental heat transfer concepts
Performed multiple experiments, analyzed collected data, and made calculations to determine the flow regime, heat transfer rate, and overall heat transfer coefficient of a tube heat exchanger under different conditions
Compiled a report of the findings and created a guide documenting the processes
Presented methods and materials used and final results for evaluation to student judges
Other Engineering Projects
Worked in a group to size and design a reactor and condenser considering dew point limitations heat exchanger under different conditions
Created and coded a multi-operation production process through the implementation of multiple numerical techniques
Led a small team to research and recommend solutions for biorefinery membrane separation modules in the production of pure ethanol
Designed a toluene hydro-dealkylation process to produce pure benzene that accounted for the effect of different recycle ratios on equipment size
