COVID19 -- Undergraduate VentilatorSOS, 2020 Spring
VentilatorSOS is a project dedicated to help with the current pandemic. The project was initiated in March, 2020 by Professor Grace O'Connell in the Mechanical Engineering Department and Cal Alumni Bryan Martel. I was the first student joining the team and later became one of the leads in the project. I dedicated long hours of working during the first month of the outbreak in the hope that the project can quickly employed and help save lives in the horrible pandemic. Our team was one of the first teams in the world to figure out how to convert CPAP/BiPAP machines into ventilators that can be used to treat COVID patients. I helped build CAD model for engineering the product and raising business founding. I also led the testing group to collect data at our lab. The project Website can be found here: https://ventilatorsos.org/.

- Repurposed CPAP and BiPAP machines as ventilators for supplementary medical devices
- Created CAD model for 3D printing and press release
- Built and Tested prototype with off-shelf-products and 3D printing parts
- Created the fist website and started a gofundme campaign for efforts to help Haiti combat coronavirus
- Gathered and analyzed data including flow rate, pressure drop, and oxygen concentration
- The VentilatorSOS team distributed thousands of machines across the world

- Operate apparatus around a large scale wave tank in O 'Brien Hall at UC Berkeley campus.
- Assisted calibrate wave gauges and force cells
- One of the Universities selected to participate the first year Marine Energy Collegiate Competition (MECC) competition held by Department of Energy
- Initiated by Michael Kelly in the TAF Lab
- The team strives to develop an underwater docking station that can store energy generated by currents, tides, and waves to recharge underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs), automated underwater vehicles (AUVs), and even manned underwater vehicles. The docking station could also serve as an intermediate data repository so that underwater vehicles can spend longer time underwater, thus reducing costs. The team will also propose business models to demonstrate the value of underwater docking stations.
