DESIGN.
TEST.
REPEAT.

Hey, I'm George. I'm a first-year engineering student trying to figure out how to build things that actually help the planet (and don't fall apart underwater).

FEATURED WORK

LATEST ENGINEERING CHALLENGE

Microplastics Filtration Device

Pet Fish: Microplastics Filter

APSC 169 PROJECT - TEAM 01

PROJECT SPECS

  • ROLE:LEAD RESEARCH & TESTING
  • TIMELINE:4 MONTHS
  • TOOLS:FUSION 360, 3D PRINTING
  • OUTCOME:VALIDATED PROTOTYPE

A "Pet Fish" robot we built to filter microplastics out of lakes. It's basically a Roomba for the water, but looks like a fish so it doesn't freak out the real ones.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Trying to make stuff that doesn't wreck the environment. We spent a lot of time figuring out which materials wouldn't just turn into more microplastics.

RAPID PROTOTYPING

From messy sketches to CAD models that actually work. We broke a lot of prototypes so the final one wouldn't break.

DATA DRIVEN

We didn't just guess. We used pH meters, flow tests, and a lot of trial and error to prove our idea wasn't just cool, but functional.
