• Project: Explore the design of an ammonia cracking unit – including a preheater and reactor – for an ammonia-powered turbofan engine.
• Coded a baseline turbofan model to calculate the performance parameters of a kerosene engine, to be compared to an ammonia engine.
• Designed a parametric heat exchanger plate for the preheater, to be optimized using CFD software.
• Calculated the required dimensions of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger for the reactor.
• Modeled pipes with different extended surfaces to improve catalyst surface area, mixing, and heat transfer.
• Performed test simulations using ANSYS Fluent to determine the best-performing pipe for the reactor.

Kohler, Wisconsin, United States

• Performed quality audits and statistical analysis of part failures.
• Assisted in continuous improvement tasks.
• Created an application using Microsoft PowerApps to assist in quality audits.
• Instructed quality training for new cast iron and enamel employees

Grafton, Wisconsin, United States

• Project: Design a variety of robotic grippers to handle aluminum diecast parts.
• Collaborated with robot arm programmers to establish design criteria and requirements for gripper fabrication.
• Designed grippers in SOLIDWORKS, making revisions after reviewing designs with robot arm programmers.
• Oversaw installation of grippers to ensure they functioned correctly, making modifications as needed.Project: Improve the efficiency of a fabrication/assembly cell to increase parts production.
• Analyzed time study data and identified the CNC process as a bottleneck.
• Designed a new layout to move existing machines to parallel with a second CNC machine.

• Project: Provide process department with information needed to replicate or set up diecast autosprayers.
• Measured, modeled in SOLIDWORKS, and identified nozzle targets for 60+ autosprayer assemblies.
• Created spreadsheet to track the completion status of every sprayer’s data.
• Developed presentations outlining the process of constructing each autosprayer, including a bill of materials, nozzle targets, and SOLIDWORKS model.
