Laboratories
My Bachelor's degree included a comprehensive laboratory component, encompassing multiple courses that provided me with in-depth practical experience in different scientific domains. The following descriptions offer an overview of each:
Space and Space Technologies - Einstein - Elevator
The objective of the laboratory was to investigate the dependence of the oscillation period of a physical pendulum on gravity. To do this, the Einstein-Elevator was used to vary the gravitational field. • Skills applied/ enhanced: LaTeX, Highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time, multitasking Technical Mechanics
In this laboratory experiment, two excitation methods were experimentally investigated using a vibrating beam that corresponds to a car suspension. The first method uses an external force to generate vibrations. The second method uses a moving mass or imbalance to generate vibrations. The goal of the experiment was to gain a fundamental understanding of the behavior of a simple single-mass oscillator under force or imbalance excitation. • Skills applied/ enhanced: MS Office (Word), highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Material testing with cyclic loading
The goal of this experiment was to investigate material fatigue of three different materials. • Skills applied/ enhanced: MS Office (Word), highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Welding technology test
The goal of this test was to investigate the effects of the set welding parameters, the type of coating, and the core wire diameter on the weld seam. • Skills applied/ enhanced: Highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Electric Filters
This experiment delves into the characteristics of high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filters. To effectively analyze their behavior, step responses and frequency domain analyses are employed. The filters are subjected to signals of varying frequencies generated by a function generator, and the resultant output signals are visualized on a two-channel oscilloscope. • Skills applied/ enhanced: Highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Material Science
This laboratory exercise aims to impart a firm grasp of the fundamental principles of eddy current testing and equip participants with the ability to decipher the acquired test data. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive assessment of the deployed eddy current sensors' sensitivity and reliability in relation to the specific testing task is essential. • Skills applied/ enhanced: MS Office (Word), highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of tim |
Turbomachinerey
This laboratory course provides an in-depth understanding of the principles of gas turbine operation and its application in model aircraft propulsion systems. Students engage in hands-on experiments that simulate various operating conditions under representative operating parameters. By analyzing the collected data, students calculate the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine system and assess the performance of individual components, including the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine stages. Measurements of key parameters such as pressure, temperature, and air flow provide valuable insights into the intricate workings of the gas turbine system. • Skills applied/ enhanced: Highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Heat treatment/Tensile test
The primary objective of this experimental investigation was to examine the tensile properties of various materials, both with and without prior heat treatment. • Skills applied/ enhanced: MS Office (Word), highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Sensors
This experiment aims to elucidate the dynamic and stationary characteristics of sensors using temperature sensors, thereby highlighting their inherent limitations. To achieve this, measurements were conducted at a range of predetermined temperatures. • Skills applied/ enhanced: Highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Wheatstone Measuring Bridge
This experiment aims to elucidate the principles of operation of the Wheatstone bridge through the implementation of a strain gauge-based load cell, emphasizing its crucial role as a signal transducer in measurement engineering. • Skills applied/ enhanced: LaTeX, highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time Forming Technology
The goal of this experiment was to perform forging with a screw press on three different materials. • Skills applied/ enhanced: Highly organised, extremely collaborative, detail-oriented, good management of time |
