Nick Michel-Hart (Mechanical Engineer)

Nick provides most of the mechanical engineering support for the McNeil Lab. He has customized the AUVs on several occasions, adding new sensors tot he AUVs by building custom science payload sections. He also has designed and built various custom components for our gas floats and most recently designed a clever new plenum for a profiling gas tension device that significantly reduces the response time for the sensor.
