Story 1:
During the final year of my undergrad, I faced one of the most challenging situations of my life
till that time. Being in the top 10 students in my class, I led a team of 5 members for a group
project. Before this, none of us had worked on a big project which involved 4-6 months of time
to complete. The most important thing in a group project, I believe, is that everyone is on the
same page and no one is left being. So, to keep the group united at all times, I motivated my
team from time to time. To avoid breakdowns, I incorporated mind relieving games in our
meetings to keep the atmosphere light and stress-free.
We worked on “Design and Analysis of Thermoelectric Beverage Chiller” with the aim to cool
the beverages under 10 min, so that its fast and portable. To tackle the problem of portability,
we used MATLAB to examine time- based profile of the medium. And to make sure it operates
fast; we used concepts from Thermodynamics and Numerical Analysis to see deviations.
Finally, after comparing and analyzing various combinations of parameters, we were able to
achieve a cooling temperature of 6 degree Celsius in under 10 minutes. We basically worked on
redefining the meaning of portable cooling for everyone out there. All of us were awarded for
the project being the most innovative one.
Accomplishment Statements:
Led a group of 5 to design a Thermoelectric beverage chiller which can cool beverage in
under 10 min.
Examined time-based profile of different mediums for thermoelectric beverage chiller
by using MATLAB; improved portability by decreasing the size.
Incorporated water-based cooling system; Improved efficiency of a portable chiller by
10%.
