Performed engineering assignments involving one major project or several smaller projects. Required fully competent application of conventional engineering knowledge. Independently evaluated, selected, and applied standard engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria, using judgment in making minor adaptations and modifications. - Performed overpressure analysis on equipment hatch of Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear power plant containment building; accuracy of results within 1% of real world test pressure results. High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) calculations were performed, determining pressure at which gross failure was expected.- Analyzed gate valves and lifting mechanisms of various sizes and designs used in nuclear power plants, verifying ability to be opened and closed with pressure on one side of valve. - Completed Blowout Preventer (BOP) Maintenance and Inspection in Deepwater Operations study, evaluating current maintenance, inspection, and testing practices / existing regulations, determining criticality of individual subcomponents, reliability of individual components, and availability of overall BOP system. - Projected corrosion rates and developed repair schedules for various vessels, assisting in budgeting and planning for next 25 years.

Performed engineering design review and analysis assignments involving one major project or several smaller, less complex projects. Projects required competent application of conventional knowledge in particular field of engineering. - Performed modal, stress, and response spectra analyses on sump strainer, verifying design that proved to be too difficult for manufacturer to complete in house.- Contributed to overpressure analysis of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) containment structure, using global model to analyze interaction between containment structure and surroundings; multiple penetrations and discontinuities of structure were analyzed determining limiting failure location and mode.- Conducted fatigue assessments of pressure vessels utilizing FEA; solid models were created for application of fatigue calculation method outlined in ASME BPVC, Section VIII – Division 2, used in verifying design.- Performed Bayesian updating of events, developing plant specific failure rates; alpha factor to multiple Greek letter factor conversion was performed using Monte Carlo simulation. - Reviewed variety of crane designs, verifying compliance to API 2C standards.- Prepared trim and stability manuals and damaged stability manuals for vessels.- Performed structural and stability analysis of complex casino barge. Gaming decks were built on top of truss framing structure on top of two interconnected barges such that they could be fixed in submerged configuration. Positive net buoyancy of submerged barges allowed for level of gaming deck to remain constant as loads and river level vary. Analyzing over 60 load cases led to identifying highly stressed areas and recommending design changes.
