Teledyne Marine, a global leader in developing deep ocean floats, recently highlighted the remarkable work of Dr. Amit Tandon and graduate student Patrick Pasteris in their recent feature.
They worked with four undergraduate engineering students for their capstone projects, with the help from the chief engineer from Teledyne Marine Bob Melvin and capstone instructor Prof. Hamed Samandari. The main objective of the project was to improve the design of the buoyancy engine and make the previous product more energy efficient. The students researched a combination of many components like pumps, motors, bladders, battery chemistries, in different ocean conditions to make the floats “Go-Anywhere”.
“…The students were motivated and talented, working well as a team to engineer and test a concept…I look forward to more capstone opportunities”, said Teledyne chief engineer Bob Melvin.
