- Defeature 3D models in Unigraphics- Create macros for 2D and 3D models- Mesh models in ANSYS Classic, ANSYS Workbench, and Hypermesh- Create boundary conditions for models- Perform static, transient, buckling, modal, and harmonic analyses using ANSYS- Perform conduction runs for buckets- Solve for axial deformation data along the circumference of impeller model’s hub and shroud- Perform elastic, elastic plastic, creep, buckling, and lifing analyses on buckets, platforms, and shrouds- Plot results of Von Mises elastic stress, and principal stresses- Plot frequencies of each mode and compared to rotor tones for flex cap model- Import temperatures from 2D to 3D model in ANSYS for HPC section of turbine model- Perform case sensitivity studies for models- Plot polar plots to see if a specific stage is pinching on a model- Convert components from Nastran to Ansys- Perform modal analysis and 1G analysis (in all directions) for both Patran and Ansys models- Compare mass, center of gravity, mode shapes and their frequencies, and displacements for both models

-Managing a team of 6 providing mentoring and technical guidance-Performing structural analysis of gas turbine engine components using FEA with static, modal, strength,buckling, fatigue, and lifing analyses including crack initiation and growth

- Tracked progress of the team’s activities and created tables/plots to show results- Tracked team project status by attending bi-weekly team project meetings and weekly planning meetings- Constructed Bill of Material (BOM) markups to show addition of new parts for CM&U projects- Designed, modified, and revised drawings for CM&U projects- Created Engineering Change Orders (ECO) and Engineering Change Requests (ECR) for drawings and parts

- Created schedules of top level project milestones for the A320 New Engine Offering (NEO) Externals group- Tracked project status by conducting weekly status calls and project meetings- Tracked progress of A320 New Engine Offering (NEO) Externals cost and weight

- Designed a reusable lunar module that can land on the Moon and stay for a duration of two weeks- Worked on the propulsion systems of how much thrust is necessary to get to the surface and orbit- Applied concepts learned in engineering classes especially propulsion and combustion systems

- Demonstrated use of the machinery and provided guidance to students- Demonstrated the basics of plastic and MIG welding- Made sure that safety rules were followed - Assisted students with any questions about the machinery or projects

- Sampled air quality along with oversaw and supervised the asbestos abatement projects- Supervised decontamination setup, asbestos removal, and site clean-up; logged progress of activities on the job site; ensured that state laws and OSHA standards were followed- Set up testing air equipment and oversaw results, communicated them with the construction supervisor
