•	Created and experimentally validated a 3D, turbulent CFD simulation of a vacuum cleaner, and optimized to reduce pressure loss by 17%, resulting in a change in vacuum power consumption by 8%
•	Designed a full factorial design of experiments on the drive system of the robot to understand the influences and interactions of weight distribution, surface type, and tread materials on drive motor loading and mobility function
•	Designed a prototype charging system with DFM and DFA considerations for a prototype production run of 50 units, and statistically demonstrating that the temperature of the charging contacts would lie within UL 1310 specifications

•	Lead a feasibility study on thermoelectric modules to serve as a solid state heating/cooling element 

•	Designed, tested, and wrote a technical report on a belt tensioning method for use in an electromechanical transport subassembly used to move testsamples. 

•	Designed a remote, adjustable, pneumatic rotary actuator for an antenna to reduce down time and improve consistency while testing and validating electronic components during electromagnetic interference testing. The main challenge in designing this component was that we could not use a lot of metal to mount or actuate the antenna, as additional metal would lead to errors during validation.
