We are excited to welcome Manuel Yanez (Manny) as the newest intern on the AIMRIGHT team. Manny is a recent graduate of Oral Roberts University with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Highlights from his academic journey:
Research and Innovation: Manny collaborated with ORU's Head of Engineering and fellow classmates on an ASEE research paper exploring 3D-printed molds for forming plastic bottles, digging into mold performance, cost-effectiveness, and durability through the lens of material properties, thermal dynamics, and manufacturing processes.
Senior Design Showcase: Manny presented his senior design project at the 44th Annual Oklahoma AIAA/ASME Symposium at Oklahoma Christian University in April 2026.
Built on a Strong Foundation: Manny's engineering path started early, from the Pre-Engineering Program at Tulsa Tech to four years on an FRC Robotics Team through the Engineering Academy at Memorial High School, where he helped design and build competition robots for regional and national events.
Beyond the workbench: When he is not deep in a project, you will find Manny building furniture, tinkering with PCs, exploring new restaurants, sketching, gaming, or enjoying music.
We are thrilled to have Manny's drive, curiosity, and hands-on skill set on our team. Join us in giving Manny a warm welcome!
