Alex Levy
PhD in Mechanical Engineering
I am a Mechanical Engineer and Researcher specializing in
prototype development and system or product design.
My expertise spans high-temperature system design and maintanace, materials science, failure analysis, process optimization, and experimental mechanics,
with a focus on delivering functional, manufacturable solutions.
During my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Boston University, I developed measurement method devices for molten salts, integrating mechanical design, materials characterization, and analytical modeling to create specialized testing systems to measure liquid structure and thermophsyical properties. My work experimental work was informed by computational analysis and directed experiments in order to develop functional prototypes.
My initial background was in manufacturing and control theory, but I have expanded to a broad range of expertise, from sensor development and thermal-fluid systems to advanced manufacturing and custom mechanical assemblies, I take an iterative approach to engineering. Whether optimizing fabrication techniques, refining experimental setups, or troubleshooting high-temperature components, I enjoy the process of converting a concept from theory into working prototypes.
I thrive in cross-disciplinary collaborations, working with scientists, engineers, and manufacturers to develop innovative, high-performance mechanical systems.
