This semester I am serving as was the sub-team leader of the Non-Linear Chemical Dose Controller (CDC) team. I have been directing team meetings every Tuesday and Friday since the beginning of the semester. I also created a preliminary schematic of our first few design ideas. Because I entered the class with no MathCAD experience, I took some time to go through the CEE 4540 MathCAD tutorial. Though I am not yet a MathCAD master, I have become proficient enough to edit other team members' algorithms and find errors. I have worked together with Akta on our team's upcoming Teach-In presentation, as well as the mid-term wiki report . I worked mostly on the primary page, but I also helped edit the new children pages. The teach-in will be posted to the wiki as soon as it is ready. I have been working on the clogging experiment and the model plant with Dale for many weeks and will continue to do so into the spring semester. We worked to develop a nonlinear dosing system where flow is controlled by minor head loss through an orifice.

Spring 2010

I was the sub-team leader for the CDC team again. We developed a working prototype for the nonlinear dose controller. I helped put together an extensive report for the EPA P3 Phase II competition. We traveled to Washington, DC to present and won a $75,000 grant!

Fall 2010

I was the research team leader as well as the sub-team leader for the CDC team and the Tube Floc team. We transitioned the CDC from nonlinear to linear because the nonlinear system had excessive errors and was too complicated for the operators. I helped analyze experimental data from the Tube Floc team to create a comprehensive baseline of control data.

Spring 2011

I was the TA for CEE 3510 and did not participate formally in AguaClara.

Fall 2011

I was the research leader for several teams and the sub-team leader for the Tube Floc team.
