Allen George Philip is a senior in the mechanical engineering program, and will graduate
summa cum laude with a minor in mathematics. Having been very academically inclined during his past
4 years of undergraduate degree, Allen will likely pursue a higher education, upon
graduation. Some of his notable work experiences are 2 yrs. as a student assistant
within the mathematics department, where he assisted university students with courses
such as calculus 1-3, ordinary differential equations, and linear algebra, as well
as 1 yr. of experience as an undergraduate research assistant in the thermal-fluid
science area of mechanical engineering, where his primary role was to characterize
metallic wick structures used in two-phase thermal cooling systems, such as heat pipes,
and vapor chambers, for high heat flux thermal management. He has also volunteered
to be part of the Go Baby Go program, where ride on cars are modified and provided
to children who experience limited mobility. Although sufficiently knowledgeable on
all the main areas of mechanical engineering, Allen’s main interest lies in the periphery
of his major, in areas such as control systems, mobile robots, autonomous vehicles,
and computer vision. During his time in university, Allen also accepted membership
to various societies such as Tau Beta Pi, and ASHRAE.
