Electrical Team Leader - BYU Wind Energy Club

As a member of the BYU Wind Energy Club participating in the Collegiate Wind Competition, I recruited and directed a team of 10 people comprised of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering students to design, build, and test a custom made generator for a miniaturized wind turbine. Along with this, the team was in charge of designing a variety of electrical components needed for the operation of the turbine (voltage converters, rectifiers, etc.)

Electrical Team Member - BYU Mars Rover Team

As part of my capstone project, I joined the BYU Mars Rover team and spent considerable amount of extracurricular time working on development for our rover. Part of my responsibilities involved temperature testing, battery design and testing, hardware and software for mobility of an onboard chemical analysis system, and motor control for the wheels.
