BLUElab at the University of Michigan

• United States
• Renewable Energy Semiconductor Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Vice President

  • Apr 2023 - Present

  BLUElab is a student organization on campus comprised of four project teams. BLUElab's goal is to emphasize the importance of socially engaged, sustainable engineering practices by taking into account social, economic, and environmental factors. BLUElab projects attempt to focus on multidisciplinary collaboration with local and international stakeholders in order to apply engineering in a culturally competent approach.My responsibilities as Vice President of BLUElab include managing all sub-committees and chairs within BLUElab, delegating new tasks and advising as needed, and revising the BLUElab team constitution.

• BLUElab Metro X School of Environment and Sustainability Project Manager

  • Mar 2022 - Apr 2023

  Leading a sub team of BLUElab Metro to work on a joint project with the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS). We are working to create a sustainable engineering solution to assist the maintenance of the compostable toilets within the SEAS main building. The three primary goals of this project are to create a biodegradable solution for gnat build up, fix the solar powered light fixtures within the building, and study local environmental policy to find safe ways to dispose of the compost. This is a sustainable engineering focused project in collaboration of BLUElab and SEAS. Show less

• BLUElab Thailand Project Lead

  • Apr 2021 - Mar 2022

  The goal of BLUElab Thailand is to develop sustainable flood mitigation solutions in Northern Thailand through co-design. BLTH collaborates with the Department of Disaster Mitigation in our partner municipality of Mae Chan and PURPLElab, our sister organization at Chiang Mai University, to conceptualize, test, and iterate upon our prototypes. As we continue to grow these relationships, we aim to learn through the exchange of ideas, feedback, and culture.We are focused on two goals identified from our Needs Assessment Trip:1. A way to control water flow direction through key drainage points to reduce damages to the most heavily affected areas, such as the school and market2. A way to clear debris and sediment inside the pipes to maximize system capacity Show less

Wooldridge Combustion Lab

• Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

• Flare Combustion Research Assistant

  • Sep 2022 - May 2023

  Flaring within the oil and gas industry has been shown to be major emitters of greenhouse gasses such as CO2 and CH4, and it has been shown that emissions from flaring may be higher than what is currently estimated by the EPA. The high-level goal of this project is to design, manufacture, and test a laboratory-scale flare tip that is capable of achieving greater than 99.5% destruction conversion efficiency under a wide range of operating conditions. One major aspect of achieving high efficiency is to induce and/or increase mixing between the fuel and air. The spacing between fuel nozzles has a large effect on the mixing between the adjacent fuels and air. This project utilizes SolidWorks and experimental analysis to design a flare tip that maximizes the efficiency of the fuel and air mixture as it is released. Experiments are run using flow visualization experiments such as particle imaging velocimetry (PIV). My main focus has been designing, manufacturing, and testing lab-scale flare tips and assisting in analyzing the data to determine the optimal geometry for enhanced mixing. We found that the mixing length for multi-plex jets with equidistant spacing (i.e. S1 = S3). Following this step, I worked to understand the mixing and diffusion characteristics of a flare, focusing on characterizing a methane diffusion flame. The release of harmful gasses as a result of burning flares can be tracked and minimized by finding the most efficient air-to fuel ratio assuming stoichiometric combustion. Show less
