Joseph Krahn

Joseph Krahn is an undergraduate mechanical engineering junior at Liberty University. He will be supporting the F.L.U.I.D. group by developing a CFD flow model over grooved dermal ridges of dolphin skin. This research coincides with his curiosity for life science and biomimicry, but he also has a diversified set of interests in areas like robotics, nuclear space solutions, rollercoaster design, and sustainable architecture. Joseph is currently involved with the Engineering Missions and Research Club in developing a low-cost electro-resistivity water detector for humanitarian applications, and he has developed critical design skills through work with BWXT Advanced Technologies, projects like Vex robots, and software such as SolidWorks. Outside of engineering, Joseph loves to hit the trails of Virginia to run for miles, capture cinematic shots with his drone, or strum the guitar atop a scenic vista. He is also passionate about empowering individuals through networking, service, and teaching.
