After the innovative concept Elon Musk documented in 2013, a buzz behind the technology began. A few years later, new companies and research were attempting to develop a sustainable hyperloop.

Amidst the craze, a select number of individuals decided to push for innovation while in college. As a member of Texas Guadaloop, I led the development of a Linear Induction Motor propulsion system for a small-scale hyperloop pod. The work spanned a year of applied physics research, iterative prototyping with varied materials and coil layouts, electromagnetic simulation in Ansys Maxwell, and structural design in NX CAD.
