Continuously developing larger transparent wood and insulating wood samples, up to 1000% from previously prepared samples. Improving the production process up to 6 times more efficient compared to before. Designing new composite structures to be safer for commercial usage by lowering the transmittance of harmful UV light without lowering the quality of visible light transparency in transparent wood. Improving the thermal insulating properties of wood to be less conductive than traditional wood materials. Designing experiments to measure the mechanical, optical, and thermal properties of all samples. Show less

  College Park, Maryland I mastered the process of fabricating transparent wood developed by the research group whilst improving efficiency in order to develop test samples to be used for mechanical and optical testing. Preparing transparent wood samples for mechanical, optical, and thermal conductivity tests was done in order to determine their potential for commercial applications. Independently designed and prototyped a new type of transparent wood that was roughly 40% stronger under a three-point bend test.
