HeroX

Description

HeroX is an internationally funded organization with a variety of competitions. My research team competed in the Solar Desalination Challenge. The goal of this contest was to developed an innovative process to expand the utilization of non-traditional water sources, ensure water security, and improve the resilience of infrastructure.

Roles

I served as the lead design and optimization engineering. I also mentored several high school students throughout the process. Additionally, I edited and produced the video for our submission. 

Takeaways

I learned that innovative engineering projects are exhilarating and that I really like working in a research group. I also learned that I love mentoring others and want to pursue higher education.
