UNC Charlotte Alum Casey Nichols (currently at NREL) is looking for summer interns to investigate automating the manufacture of wind turbine blades using robotics and computer vision.

After finishing his graduate studies in Applied Energy and Electromechanical Systems, David has kept himself busy with some new projects.

The UNC Coastal Studies Institute and University of New Hampshire are two of the key partners in AMEC.  We’re looking forward to the opportunities that this will provide for marine energy research along the Atlantic coast.

I’m a bit late in posting, as the WaterBros team got the great news in mid-September.  We are beyond excited about getting to continue in the competition and will be ready to deploy at Jennette’s Pier in early 2022.

I’m happy to be a (small) part of the new Center for Additive Manufacture of Advanced Ceramics led by Dr. Brigid Mullany here at UNC Charlotte.  It is a great group of people that I think have the skills, insight, and perspectives to advance ceramic manufacture regionally.

A nice quick quiz that illustrates several logical fallacies along with resources to identify others.
