USTF Student Farbod Moghaddam Presents Research at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition
I had the
opportunity to present a research project that I have been working on for over
year at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International
Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition the weekend of November 9th –
11th. During my time at the conference, I attended committee meetings where I
participated in conversations regarding early career engineer development and
leadership enhancement for student projects. My colleagues and I also attended
the ASME Old Guard competitions where the communication skills of
pre-professional engineers were challenged in an effort to promote the
development of societal engineers. At the undergraduate expo where I presented
my poster on the development of high performance gas sensors based on 3D porous
graphene and RFID, I met numerous undergraduates working on some incredibly
fascinating topics including bone strength enhancement, development of
nanofibers using worm silk, and introducing artificial bandgaps to graphene
through atomic stitching for development of next generation transistors.
Throughout the event I also had an opportunity to interact with faculty members
from different universities and members from the industry to communicate the
impact of our work and network. Overall, the experience was incredibly
rewarding and eye opening in terms of what topics were being explored by other
undergraduate researchers in the field.
