Congratulations Riley Bickford on Graduation and Innovative Success
Please join ACEP in congratulating Riley Bickford on successfully defending his thesis and receiving his Master of Science in mechanical engineering through 性欲社鈥檚 College of Engineering and Mines. His graduate advisory committee included ACEP鈥檚 Tom Marsik and David Denkenberger and CEM鈥檚 Rorik Peterson.
Bickford鈥檚 research was focused in developing methods used to create and validate the Arctic Dual Hood 鈥 a combined intake and exhaust vent for heat recovery ventilation in cold climates. The Arctic Dual Hood is an accessory that can simplify and increase the energy efficiency of residential heat recovery ventilation installations.
鈥淩ight from the beginning, it was clear that Riley wanted to make a difference in the world,鈥 said Marsik. 鈥淲ith this awesome attitude, he put a lot of hard work into the project and received a couple of innovation awards along the way, together with his team.鈥
Bickford and Marsik won a 2019 Best Overall Invention Disclosure award from the 性欲社 Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization and a .
Bickford worked with ACEP and the on this project and was assisted by 性欲社鈥檚 Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization.
The Arctic Dual Hood research was funded through the program, which is an initiative funded by the .
