Noah Rosenberger, CpE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Noah Rosenberger is an engineering student at the University of Florida with a passion for embedded systems prototyping, full-system product development, and the integration of hardware and software. This project allows him to apply computer vision and iOS application development to solve a critical, real-world utility challenge. His engineering background is highly cross-disciplinary, covering circuit design, schematic creation, and PCB layout using Altium, alongside hands-on experience with FPGAs, firmware development, and mechanical prototyping. On the software side, he utilizes C++ and Python to build robust solutions, drawing on academic training in operating systems, data structures, and algorithms. He enjoys streamlining complex workflows through automation and is deeply motivated by the process of scaling functional prototypes into high-volume manufactured products.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Shawn Zhudro, ME<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shawn Zhudro is currently a mechanical engineering senior at the University of Florida with plans to complete an accelerated Master\u2019s degree in the field through UF\u2019s 4+1 Program. Shawn has a strong background in mechanical design, prototyping, communication, and engineering leadership through his professional and extracurricular experiences. He chose to work on this project for the fun of the challenge posed by FPL, sating both an interest in both the dynamics theory behind transmission line construction and the energy field as a whole. Outside of engineering experiences, Shawn volunteers with Tau Beta Pi\u2019s UF chapter, plays board games weekly with other UF students, and is active in the Gainesville rock climbing scene.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Levine, ME<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Levine is currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florida, with certificates in project management and artificial intelligence. He has previous experience working in mechanical design and testing. He was interested in working with FPL on this project because of the ability to design a full prototype and the design challenges that come with solving a problem. Outside of engineering, he enjoys running, watching sports, and hanging out with his friends. <\/p>\n<\/div>
