NFT Hydroponic System

Built a closed-loop Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponic system as part of a three-person team, designed with small-business applications in mind. The system monitors environmental growth factors and is equipped with software to remotely control it — funded by Northeastern's PEAK undergraduate research award.

Highlights

• Conducted extensive research on hydroponic optimization to guide the system design.
• Created the CAD model, ordered parts, and assembled the frame and other mechanical components.
• Integrated environmental monitoring with remote-control software for a closed-loop, scalable build.
