Anthony Baglino
Numerical Analyst and Project Management Expert
Since 2012, when my family was hit by hurricane Sandy, I've been on a mission to help those in a disastrous situation though my knowledge of power generation and concept development. Tinkering and experimentation are the reasons I've always wanted to become an engineer. My experience with personal and school projects shows that I am a creative thinker and I make concepts a reality. Having a role in making the world a better place through innovation and creativity would be overly rewarding and is something I am proud to be working on.
Tim Werder
Numerical and Fluid Dynamics Expert, Website Developer
Tim is currently a 5/5 Co-Op student from the coastal town of Beachwood, New Jersey pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. With an aerospace background and an admiration for flight, he aspires to work in space and/or government defense industries. Being a part of the Hydricity team has furthered Tim's understanding of fluid mechanics, which is an imperative field for the career he desires to start post-graduation.
