Screen Printed Flushing Screen
ME 4243: Senior Design Capstone Project
In our final year of the B.S. in Engineering, we have a Project-Based course, which serves as our senior design project. Each student is placed into a team and assigned a specific project. I am involved in the Printed Flushing Screen Project, sponsored by Mr. Christopher Beeson from Exxon, with Dr. Shengmin Guo as our advisor and Dr. Dimitris E. Nikitopoulos as our instructor. The members, shown from left to right, are Rishabh Malani, Galvin Wong, Thomas McPoyle, Yoxiao Lin, and Demar Loza. For the midterm report, I contributed to the Objective Tree Budget and Environmental Impact sections.
SMR Design Presentation
ME 4953: Nuclear Reactor Engr. Design
This class explored nuclear reactors and their essential design principles. The group concentrated on the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) developed by NuScale, showcasing a approach to nuclear energy that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and modular scalability. I contributed by presenting slides 1-5 and 10-11, which I also created. Additionally, the group covered the design features, specifications, historical development of SMRs, and the cost factors affecting their potential for broad adoption

Thermal Science Lead Presentations
ME 4611: Thermal Science Lab
In the Thermal Science lab, we are divided into groups of four, with one person serving as the Lead, another as the Reporter, and the remaining two as team members. Within lab, two individuals are designated as the Toast Master and the Camera operator. I took on the lead role two presentations on thermodynamic principles: Experiment 1, the Clapeyron experiment, and Experiment 2, the Bomb Calorimeter experiment. The group lead ensures the experiment runs smoothly, while the reporter analyzes the data to draw conclusions. The Toast Master introduces the speaker, and the Camera operator records the presentation for upload to YouTube.
Lathed Pin, Welded Stool, and Heat Exchanger
ME 3633: Manufacturing Processes & Methods
Manufacturing Processes & Methods includes both a lecture and a lab component. Each student fabricates an individual part using lathe machining and welding techniques learned throughout the course. The three lab reports were completed by Shelby Dean, Beau Johnson, Rishabh Malani, Ndiaye Assane, Julianna Pomarico, and Dylann Sellers. I completed all of the procedures and equipment from each lab report. The image on the left shows the lathed component I fabricated, along with its SolidWorks model prior to manufacturing.
Instrumentations Lab Class
ME 3603 Instrumentation and Measurement
Instrumentation focuses on statistics, probability, and uncertainty analysis. The course includes a dedicated lab where each experiment connects to the lecture. Instruments such as an Arduino are utilized to apply these concepts (image to the right from Experiment 2). Lab 2 Report was individual, while the formal report and Technical Memo were in collaboration with Ajalynn Crum, Luke Major, and Rishabh Malani. I worked on the background and theory, and the results and discussion as well.
