Explored in this report is the essential interconnectedness of Grand Unified and String Theoretic Phenomenology. In order to extract a modeled connection to low-energy physics from the context of superstring theory, it is presently necessary to input some preferred region of parameter space in which to search. This need may be well filled by a parallel study of Grand Unification, which is by contrast in immediate proximity to a wealth of experimental data. The favored GUT so isolated may then reasonably transfer this phenomenological correlation to a string embedding, receiving back by way of trade a greater sense of primary motivation, and potentially enhanced predictability for parameters taken as input in a particle physics context. The Flipped SU(5) GUT will be our preferred framework in which to operate and first receives an extended study in a non-string derived setting. Of particularly timely interest are predictions for super-particle mass ranges and the interrelated question of proton decay lifetime. Corrections to such a picture under the lift to a string embedding are also considered. Two principal approaches to string model building are next treated in turn: the Heterotic Free Fermionic construction and Intersecting D-branes in Orientifold compactifications. In both contexts, a summary of existing constructions, extensions to known procedures, and original phenomenological contributions are described.

The objective to this bachelor degree project was to redesign a structure of the doors and add windows of a convertible car. This was carried out in collaboration with the company Hurtan Desarrollos S.L. To establish the requirements for the design, initial studies were performed: a literature review, a benchmark of related products and a study of standard car door designs. After this the final requirements were defined and the concept generation design phase was begun. In this phase a number of design methods were applied. The design concepts were systematically evaluated in respect to if, and to what degree, the concepts met the defined demands and needs of the design. The final concepts were completed with the demands of the company to obtain the results. In order to define, create and communicate ideas and solutions, the design was modelled in Solidworks software and exported to Creo Parametric 2.0 to create the final renders. Once the overall design was defined, materials and accessories were specified. The final result is presented in detail in photorealistic renderings and a physical design made by Hurtan Desarrollos S.L.
