Projects: Arizona State University, Mesa Arizona
XFLR5: UAV Design and Analysis September-December 2014
 Individually designed an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in a design and analysis programmed called XFLR5.
 Strict weight and angle of attack specifications were followed in order to achieve a stable flight.
 Planned the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle requiring three important sections; the main wing, the horizontal and
vertical tail and the fuselage to meet flying conditions at precise angle of attack and loads.
 Determined the lift to drag ratio, lift to angle of attack and pitching moment to angle of attack.
 Provided final design, met requirements and documented stable flight patterns after analysis and calculations.
Wind Tunnel Wing Design January-May 2015
 Tasked with designing, manufacturing and testing a wing inside a wind tunnel.
 Coordinated with team member, together selected a NACA Clark Y airfoil to begin modeling of main wing.
 Constructed entire wing in SolidWorks for machining and XFLR5 for theoretical testing.
 Drafted design with XFLR5 program to determine pressure loads, angle of attack and lift vs. drag ratio.
 Manufactured wing consisting of SolidWorks CAD documents and CorelDraw sketches of ribs.
 Successfully tested complete wing inside a wind tunnel and recorded pressure point locations along the chord.
Miniature Wind Tunnel Table Top Design January-May 2015
 Elected to create a transportable scaled down wind tunnel for demonstration purposes.
 Goals of table wind tunnel include having the ability to be powered by an outlet, quiet to talk over, and portable.
 Consulted with group members to order parts, create detail drawings and fabricate the wind tunnel in sections.
 Designed full model in SolidWorks with proper dimensions and materials for next phases of prototyping.
Exsomed Nerve Clip Prototype September 2013-present
 Sought out ways to improve and a surgical operation by decreasing surgery time, difficulty, cost and skill.
 Lead group sessions, emails, sponsor conferences, project manager meetings, and design briefings.
 Worked as a team to brainstorm, design, manufacture and demonstrate the final product and its application.
 Provided professional monthly team member updates, status reports and design presentations.
 Conversed with sponsor, project manager and businesses liaison to order materials, tools and parts.
 Proposed final design, report and prototype to sponsor company. Demonstrated evidence of improved and
efficient surgical procedures.
Vacuum Bag Prepreg Layup September 2013-May 2014
 Exhibited knowledge from lecture(s) to construct vacuum bag system with available materials for prepreg layups.
 Preformed prepreg panel layup with layers of material in planned arrangement inside constructed vacuum bag.
 Engaged in wet layup project, using fiberglass, support material and a bonding solution to solidify the part.
 Tested the strength and stress/strain of parts on tensile machine along with strain gauges.
 Worked on composite labs with group members, independently writing reports detailing the experiment.
SolidWorks CNC Project January-April 2012
 Developed the cardholder in SolidWorks CAD program, imported into Surfcam CAM program, and created
machine operations.
 Fabricated a code for the cardholder and ran the final code on a Haas CNC machine.
 Received high level of stakeholder acceptance.
