My Education

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Cambridge, MA Candidate for Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

September 2013–June 2017

Relevant Coursework: Circuits and Electronics, Dynamics and Controls I & II, Design and Manufacturing I & II, Measurement and Instrumentation, Engineering Systems Design, Venture Engineering

Design Project:

Completed senior project in engineering design and development, a yearlong course modifying a BMW i3 to charge using hydrogen produced from an aluminum reaction.

Led sub-team concerned with fuel cell and power electronics, responsible for taking hydrogen produced by reaction sub-team and turning it into electricity able to charge the vehicle.

Created mounting system to integrate our hardware into the vehicle and allow for ease of wiring and tubing

Developed specifications for fuel cell input hydrogen and output power to the project vehicle.
