Casey Nichols was one of the Mechanical Engineering Technology graduates at this Saturday’s commencement ceremony. Casey has been an undergraduate research assistant in the magnetic gearing research group for the past year, funded by both the NC Space Grant and the UNC Coastal Studies Institute. This summer he is interning at the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) in Boulder, CO. Casey will be back though as he continues work on his master’s degree in the fall and from the looks of the travel pictures he still has his eyes on places to install some magnetic gearboxes.
