Projects
Damping Frequency of a Viola Chin Rest
(Senior Design Project, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Department UIC)
• Collaborated with a client to create a design that would damp the frequency of a viola chin rest
• Collaborated with a team to create a solution to a complicated problem
• Created a detailed proposal for our sponsor
• Kept a detailed design notebook for the project
• Performed tests to ensure the design worked without altering the frequency of the viola
