Laboratory Tidal Simulator

Ocean tide simulator for a marine science laboratory at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB)

Micro Air Vehicle Wing with Leading Edge Flap

A micro air vehicle research wing designed for use in a wind tunnel to study the capabilities of an active leading edge flap in controlling the stability of micro air vehicle flight.

OSU Mars Rover

A university robotics project team that builds a Mars rover demonstrator to compete in the annual University Rover Challenge. The challenge seeks to develop a rover that would be representative of the type required by humans after they've arrived on Mars.

Lateral Fluid Motion in Nucleate Boiling

A summary of my masters thesis. It researches the potential to effect thermally driven flow in microgravity. In gravitational conditions this is made possible by gravity, as buoyancy forces allow lower density fluids to rise. However, in microgravity conditions (space), the buoyancy force is either entirely absent, or at the very least insignificant, requiring ingenious solutions to set up natural advection of fluid.

Egg Glider

High school physics project to transport an uncooked egg as far away as possible from the top of a building to the ground intact.
