This past semester, I was on the Sensor Development sub team. I worked with my team members to further develop the current pressure measurement system and designing and built a fluidized bed solids concentration sensor. We efficiently utilized ProCoDa in order to automate the pressure measurement system and designed and built biogas measurement systems for the wastewater teams. Afterwards, we worked with our workshop mentor Paul to design and fabricate an original fluidized bed concentrations sensor and calibrated the sensor in ProCoDa for the Anaerobic Fluidized Bed team. This sensor can be applied to other teams in the future with the correct calibration.

Fall 2015 Contributions
In Fall 2015, I worked with the Foam Filter Cleaning sub team to build a new testing apparatus, design a new testing method, and optimize filter cleaning efficiency for foam filter plants. We worked to experiment with cleaning velocities and optimize foam filtration performance so that foam filter plants can be more widely used in small communities and clean drinking water can be more easily readily available to people without access to it.
