Evren Technologies Internship

Prototyping components for an FDA Breakthrough-designated medical device.

Silicone ear piece prototypes for the Evren Phoenix device on a workbench
Prototype of ear pieces — silicone and conductive materials fabricated for the Phoenix.

Designing and optimizing ear-based bioelectronic devices at Evren Technologies, a clinical-stage medical device startup in Gainesville building the Phoenix — an FDA Breakthrough-designated wearable that treats PTSD through vagus nerve stimulation. I develop and refine injection mold designs for device components using 3D printing, and work with silicone and conductive materials to prototype, fabricate, and improve functional device performance.

Swamp Launch Rocket Design and CFD

Validated rocket drag predictions by testing CFD results against a physical wind tunnel model.

CAD-modeled rocket prepared for wind tunnel testing on a rod fixture
Rocket model prepared for wind tunnel testing to compare physical results with ANSYS CFD data.

Run ANSYS Fluent simulations for the Swamp Launch IREC competition vehicle and build the rocket model in CAD. I also helped document the simulation process for different Mach ranges, including physics setup, boundary-layer values, drag calculations, and which equations to use for each case.

Role

Rocket CFD and CAD contributor

Impact

Helped connect the rocket CAD model, ANSYS simulation workflow, and wind tunnel test setup so the team could compare predicted drag with physical testing.

Design/Build/Fly Aircraft Work

Helped build and fly a carbon fiber VTOL aircraft from CAD to competition.

Carbon fiber fuselage and structure of a VTOL aircraft for Design Build Fly
Carbon fiber fuselage and structure from the VTOL aircraft I helped manufacture for Design/Build/Fly.

Helped manufacture Prototype 1 and the carbon fiber fuselage structure for Gator Design/Build/Fly. I also used XFLR5 to study the aerodynamics of Prototype 1, a standard aircraft layout with one nose wheel and two rear wheels.

Role

Airframe, manufacturing, and aero analysis contributor

Impact

Worked across both analysis and build work: checking aerodynamic behavior in XFLR5, helping fabricate aircraft structure, and connecting design choices to real manufacturing and flight constraints.

FASt Lab Robotic Fish Research

Measured real hydrodynamic drag on lab-built robotic fish hardware.

Hydrofoil setup mounted on a load cell in a FASt Lab water tunnel
Hydrofoil setup mounted on a load cell in a water tunnel to measure drag.

Contributed to research on robotic fish systems, experimental hardware, and fluid-structure interaction. This included water tunnel work with a hydrofoil mounted on a load cell to measure drag, plus CAD work for an adapter and fin used in water tunnel testing.

Role

Undergraduate research contributor

Impact

Built research experience in experimental fluids, instrumentation, drag measurement, CAD test hardware, and mechanical setups for water tunnel experiments.
