About Me:
I am a mechanical engineering major and mathematics minor
student at Penn State University Hazleton campus. The one thing that describes me best is my passion for engineering and mathematics. I have been interested and independently studying engineering for as long as I can remember and have always been designing and creating new things. I have an extreme interest and
passion for robotics and competed in local, state, and national competitions throughout high school and placed very highly in all of them. I have also competed in many engineering design competitions throughout high school on the national level and placed in the top ten for our design of a "theoretically perpetual motion machine" using a combination of magnetism and gravity.
My real accomplishments began in college. As a freshman I immediately began doing undergraduate research with my professor in photovoltaic systems engineering. Our research was based on comparing the power output of two solar thermal
systems (evacuated glass tubing and parabolic mirrors). In my free time I started a club that grew very quickly to one of the largest clubs on campus called "Project Nittany". Our goal in this club is to design and manufacture a "life sized" (to the scale of an actual mountain lion), robotic Nittany lion that we hope to donate to the Penn State football team to have it walk up and down the sidelines of Beaver Stadium. Also I became the president of the Science
and Engineering club, the Math Olympiad club and the PSU Swim Club. In the Science and Engineering club we are working on designing and building a "Zero Utility" house for students to live in for next year that is independent of any power from the grid. One of my favorite activities though is my independent
studies in topology with one of my professors. In the mean time I some how manage to work as a Calculus tutor and maintain my 4.0 GPA.
