  Nortek Air Solutions, LLC

  Oct 2012 - Jul 2016

  Product Development Engineer

  I played a pivotal role in driving sustainable data center cooling solutions. I contributed significantly to the development of our groundbreaking STATEPOINT technology, which integrates a complete cooling plant within a self-contained air handling unit. By utilizing an innovative semi-permeable membrane exchanger, StatePoint achieves remarkable Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) savings through its indirect evaporative cooling method. Additionally, I leveraged my expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling to optimize the performance of our FANWALL technology, further enhancing its cooling efficiency. Show less
