  - Completed Master's Thesis through the University of Louisville that studied the spatial effects of balls in a ball type balancer. - The thesis included a model for a 2D ball balancer - able to move vertically, horizontally and angularly, and includes n number of balls. - Due to the degree of non-linearity of the problem, a unique application of the mathematical method developed by Henon was used. This allowed this ball balancer model to solve for collisions between balls and the separations of ball trains throughout a simulation. - Additionally, a full momentum analysis is completed whenever a collision is detected.
