I am continuing my work on the StaRS Filter Theory team to reach our goal of creating a mathematical model. I am designing a tube flocculator to facilitate creating small flocs similar to the influent water in AguaClara plants. Additionally, I advise the High Rate Sedimentation - Plate Settler and Rapid Mix Contact Chamber team. As team lead, I will be creating and organizing training sessions for the team to advance AguaClara's research.

As team lead, I worked with the StaRS Filter Theory team and advised the Spectrophotometer and Floc Hopper Probe teams. As part of the StaRS Filter Theory team, I designed a filter system that implemented the new injection system. I measured the filtration performance based on head loss and effluent turbidity. I also worked with PID control to create a constant influent turbidity.
