My senior design project demonstrates my ability to apply engineering principles to real-world environmental challenges, combining technical design, research, and global sustainability considerations.
Modular Microplastic Filtration Attachment for Beach Cleaning Robot
Florida International University | 2026
Designed a modular filtration system to capture microplastics (<5 mm) from beach sand
Integrated a 2 mm mesh filtration system to separate microplastics while maintaining sand flow
Developed a lightweight system (~3.29 kg) using aluminum components for efficiency and durability
Achieved a projected capture efficiency >80% with a coverage rate of ~3000 m²/hour
Performed mass flow rate calculations (~32 kg/min sand intake) to guide system design
Conducted force and stress simulations to validate structural integrity under real conditions
Designed vibration mechanisms to reduce clogging and improve filtration efficiency
Used CAD modeling and simulation tools to optimize system performance
Addresses the global issue of microplastic pollution in oceans and coastal ecosystems
Supports sustainable engineering solutions for environmental protection and waste reduction
Contributes to improving efficiency of existing beach-cleaning technologies
Demonstrates how engineering can solve real-world global environmental challenges
