- Project lead for developing the gas exchange flow path and combustion system for the new Milwaukee 8 engine that started production in 2017. In this role, integration of the air box, throttle body, manifold, intake ports, combustion chamber and exhaust ports were key to ensuring specifications for performance, emissions and durability. These goals were met through CFD analysis, flow room activity, and interaction with engine testing. This gas flow path system lead to an All-American design… Show more - Project lead for developing the gas exchange flow path and combustion system for the new Milwaukee 8 engine that started production in 2017.

These goals were met through CFD analysis, flow room activity, and interaction with engine testing. This gas flow path system lead to an All-American design award from H-D leadership.- Lead and developed new methodology for performing conjugate heat transfer analysis of the cylinder and head for the Milwaukee 8 engine. Temperature results yielded minimal error and were used for cooling jacket design (Glycol and Oil) and durability predictions for the cylinder head and bolted joint system. These methodologies lead to an All-American award from H-D leadership.- Technical lead in developing new methodologies in the areas of Thermodynamics, Optimization, CFD and combustion analysis. Areas of new methodologies include better prediction of engine performance using 1-D thermodynamics tools, in-cylinder cfd analysis including combustion (chemical fuel mechanisms, misfire, lean dilution tolerance), heat release correlation, fuel injector spray correlation, general cfd applications (steady state port development and optimization, oil piston jet cooling, engine breather metrics, oil pan slosh, gear box slosh, engine and vehicle aerodynamics, radiator heat rejection and heat mitigation). - Key lead or team member involved in advanced technologies shelf products (vehicle and power train) – GDI, Combustion improvements, Engine downsizing, Supercharging, valve actuation, CO2 improvement strategies, electric, and hybrid vehicles through the use of CAE tools (CFD, 1-D).
