Team Members
Our dedicated team of Northern Arizona University engineering students brings diverse skills and expertise to tackle the challenges of developing a controlled experimental apparatus designed to simulate and study evaporation reduction in canal systems using solar panel coverage. Meet the talented individuals driving this important research forward.
Garet Bowels
Manufacturing Engineer
Garet's precision scheduling and Gantt chart management have streamlined production processes, reducing downtime by 15%. He aligns team tasks with project milestones to ensure on-time delivery of manufactured components.
Lilliana Hadik-Barkoczy
Logistics Manager
As Logistics Manager, Lilliana leads all quantitative research analysis while bridging the gap between technical teams and clients. Her dual expertise in mathematics and communication ensures research aligns perfectly with client needs.
Trey Bushling
CAD Engineer
As the CAD Engineer, Trey oversees all of the project modeling. This task takes precision to correctly define each part and provide a professional drawing for each part of the final apparatus.
Jorge Cesin
Financial Manager
As Financial Manager, Jorge organized fundraising initiatives that collected $740 while maintaining a balanced budget. His meticulous planning enabled the team to maximize resources without compromising project goals.
Brendan Steele
Test Engineer
Brendan researches and tests how the team could isolate variables when it comes to testing for how evaporation rate varys based on shading. These variables consist of humididty, temperature, and wind speeds.
Samantha Synk
Project Manager
As project manager, Samantha coordinates timelines,leads team communication, and ensures allignment betweeeen the engineering design goals and client expectations. She also oversees progress tracking, task delegation, and helps drive the decision to keep on schedule.
