ABOUT

We are a group of service-oriented Princeton students who are looking to make a difference in the community through engineering service projects.

PROJECT LEADERS 2015-2016

Michael Hepler

Assistant Instructor

Graduate student at Princeton University managing and organizing the development of the solar refrigerator project while connecting students with required technical expertise.

Charles Zhou '16

Economic Researcher

Investigating the potential economic benefit of bringing the Solar Fridge project to Third-World Countries and Emerging Economies.

Christine Li '17

Web Designer

Developing and maintaining this website to include market research, data, and track the progress of the solar fridge project.

Rhino Nevers '18

Vaccine Monitor Developer

Monitoring the temperature of the vaccines using an Arduino, comparing a variety of temperature sensing devices, designing circuit components to increase number of vaccines and filter the signal output by the temperature sensors.

Emily Viggers '16

Builder

Working on a containment system for the activated carbon and ethanol for the refrigeration cycle.

Benjamin Shi '18

Solar Tracking Researcher

Research on various aspects of solar tracking such as the trajectory of the sun, possible solar tracking algorithms, and the functionality and logic behind two algorithms to be used to perform optimal solar tracking. Building a prototype that is capable of using these algorithm to perform solar tracking.

Nuss Visatemongkolchai '18

Vaccine Monitor Developer

Working on a vaccine temperature monitoring circuit for the fridge -- developing a system with an Arduino that tracks temperature of vaccine vials and send out alerts when the temperature falls out of range.
