CALEB POLILLIO
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student with a minor in Drones and Robotics at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). I am extremely passionate about multidisciplinary engineering, particularly mechatronics, where I can work not only mechanically, but electrically and through programming. I am driven by research and development of cutting-edge systems and always eager to take on new engineering challenges.
After completion of my undergraduate degree, I plan to pursue my PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in robotics and am excited for what is to come!

Design, Construction, and Scaling of a Direct Drive
MAGLEV Vertical-axis Wind Turbine
Magnetic Levitation (MAGLEV) systems are becoming increasingly popular in vertical-axis wind turbines due to their ability to reduce friction and wear. The present research investigates the design, construction, and efficiency of a direct-drive magnetically levitating Savonius vertical-axis wind turbine.
