OUC Engineer Among IREC 2018 3iAward Recipients Announced at Intersolar

As an emerging technology engineer at Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), Rubin researches technologies, designs experiments and tests new products and materials in renewable energy and energy conservation. While at the University of Central Florida (UCF) he analyzed wind data, then created his own vertical access wind turbine design using a 3-D printer. He also constructed a small floating solar photovoltaics (PV) platform with help from mechanical engineering students, and OUC is now siting a full-scale version based on its success. Rubin also led a research team at Limbitless Solutions, a non-profit using additive manufacturing to advance personalized bionics solutions for individuals with disabilities, and established a solar art scholarship competition for a student-designed solar sculpture, later installed by OUC.
