Education Background

Before joining the SBS lab, Cary received his Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in May 2019. At Purdue University he performed research studying collisions of non-spherical particles in granular flows using the Discrete Element Method. Part of this research was done as a participant in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) at Purdue, which sponsored his full time research during the Summer of 2018. This culminated with a presentation at the SURF Symposium and the abstract for this can be found . He was also a member of the national mechanical engineering honor society Pi Tau Sigma.

Research Interests

Indoor environment, computational fluid dynamics, energy efficient buildings, building resiliency, machine learning, and multiphase flow.
