• Prototyped a functioning rope-style pump designed to meet United Nations sustainable development goals for communities lacking clean water infrastructure

• Applied mathematical models to optimize the gear ratios and dimensional parameters for peak efficiency

• Modeled all parts and assemblies in SolidWorks and used 3D printing and precision manufacturing tools to achieve a stable design

• Achieved a flow rate of 8.12 gallons per minute, placing in the 91st percentile of the class

• Wrote MATLAB code for a 2D simulation of plant epidemics to understand how wind, temperature, and other

environmental and biological factors influence disease spread

• Implemented functions for a system of differential equations that model the disease spread and employed

numerical integration methods on the system to visualize its progression

• Optimized a cost function of parameters for spraying techniques to maximize the profit of a commercial farm
