<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;">Brandon is a proud University Innovation Fellow at Rowan University. From design projects to tinkering at home, he is most at peace when taking things apart and studying how they work. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brandon is currently studying mechanical engineering, with future aspirations to work as a Disney Imagineer. His current design projects include Currently, he is working on a product called 'SMARTRIDE' - an electronic long longboard attachment which enhances board rider control systemperformance, ride comfort, and safety.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">In partnership with ASME and Rowan Engineering, Brandon he is currently developing an HE-VTOL V.T.O.L. (Hybrid Electric - Verticle Take Off & Landing) aircraft capable of carrying a pilot onboard. This program The Rowan Hoverbike Program is a joint effort funded in part by Rowan University and ASME - </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Philadelphia(</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(American Society of Mechanical Engineers).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Brandon works on campus as a lab technician for one of our the on-campus innovation/maker -space facilities. There, he assists students in turning their ideas into a physical reality product design through traditional and advanced manufacturing technologies i.e. solid modelling, 3D 3d printing, CNC machiningand advanced manufacturing.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">When he is not in the shopprojects lab, he is an active member of the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) community in the tri-state area and around the world. As the Student Regional Chair for the northeast Northeast US region, he is responsible for coordination and outreach to 30 student sections, with the goal of creating new effective communication pathwaysfor student sections, as well as connecting ASME's young members globally.</span></p>
