About the Team
The team For the Win(d) was brought together by their love of puns, which is only equaled by their love for the wind.
Mark Annunziato, Jr.
Mark is a wind enthusiast. As a young boy he flew kites every day of the week. At the age of 11 he built his own wind tunnel and slept in it just to feel the wind blow through his flowing locks. Now a senior electrical engineering major at Loyola, Mark hopes to use his love of wind to help power the world...then take it over.
Mark is in charge of everything electrical, choosing components, and running tests.

Randolf Brown, Jr.
Randy is known around the world as the dandiest of them all. His life is nothing but pin-wheels, sunshine, and kites. Nothing is more appealing to Randy than spending time outdoors and watching the leaves fall in the breeze. Luckily Randy was quite gullible and we were able to trick him into working indoors in a lab for the rest of his life as a mechanical engineer. We let him out every once in a while but always have to make sure there are no pin wheels or butterflies around so that he won’t remember the good ole days and break free to live amongst nature.
Randy is in charge of research and dimensional analysis.

Marissa Danna
Marissa is a mechanical engineering major and math minor. She is often described as "vertically challenged" and has always been vulnerable to being blown away by strong gusts of wind. To help ease her fear, she has decided to work to harness the power of the wind for good. In her free time she enjoys playing soccer and ultimate frisbee.
Marissa is in charge of preliminary equations, data analysis, budget maintenance, safety, and this website

Krisildi Felau
As a young Albanian boy, Krisildi wanted nothing more than to be a weather man. He failed at that. After being kicked out of the Academy for Weather, Firefighting, Ukulele, and Law (he failed his firefighting term project and let the school burn down) he decided to enact his revenge on society for letting him down: he would learn to harness the power of the weather and use its force to perform diabolical misdeeds all over the world. Sadly, Krisildi is not the best strategist and thinks that developing convenient, affordable wind power for consumers with his mechanical engineering degree will help him on his quest for revenge. (Shh, don’t tell him!)
Krisildi is in charge of computational modeling, 3D printing, and is our mentor liaison.
