I worked collaboratively in a team of 5 students to design and test a proof of concept of a wall-mountable UV phone sanitizer for CleanSlate UV. The design reduced hospital-acquired infections and protected patients with compromised immune systems. The team followed an engineering design process that included:

• - Defining scope and requirements per client’s request
• - Performing literature review and conducting a market research study
• - Multiple iterations of conceptual design generation
• - Industrial design generation
• - Pilot tests, UX studies, mock-ups, and stress analysis to assess proof of concept
• - Industrial design generation
• - Weekly client meetings to review progress and schedule

The solution killed 99.9% of infectious bacteria and had a payback period of 3.7 months.
