• Developed first of its kind electric (48V BLDC) Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) pump for heavy duty diesel engines• BSFC reduction from re-optimized turbo and camshaft demonstrated in GT-Suite and on engine testing• Established strong customer relationship through support of initial on-engine tests of EGR pump prototypes• Technical lead for four engineers creating 24 prototypes, motor development stand, air test stand, and engine dyno• Managed technical resources in FEA, CFD, and thermal analysis to meet EGR pump design requirements• Ongoing support of prototyping testing on five customer engines, leading knowledge transfer to product launch team

• Led prototype build and testing of torque vectoring differential and demonstrated in a vehicle to senior leadership• Managed simulation of three differential concepts using AMESim and CarSim plant models coupled to Simulink controls model• Commissioned new hub mounted dyno, used it to characterize actuation system and perform initial controls calibration• Led efficiency testing of two continuously variable transmission (CVT) designs (test rig design, data acquisition/controls)• Renovated a dyno test cell and installed a prototype variable valve actuation system on engine for verification testing

• Modeled electrically assisted variable speed (EAVS) supercharger concept in GT-Suite - shared with customers for sizing• Created powertrain, electrical, and hybrid vehicle model of EAVS prototype vehicle, correlated well with test vehicle data• Used simulation to direct changes to the test vehicle, reducing 0-60 acceleration times by several seconds• Collaborated with more than ten OEMs to implement supercharging concepts into their engine and vehicle models • Represented Eaton in a joint venture with BorgWarner developing combined turbo and supercharger technology• Authored seven publications, a Gamma Technologies conference presentation, and presented at SAE World Congress• Mentored and developed two other engine analysts to work independently and produce high quality simulation results

• Led project to implement new zinc plating process (Dura-Kote™) affecting 140M parts/year, increasing sales by $8.3M• Completed electronic enclosure validation testing for LifeSense®, a new hose technology that senses imminent failure• Designed and tested several hose finishing concepts (awarded patent) and created an electronic hose assembly tester• Selected and validated an optimum blade/saw combination to meet the requirements of LifeSense® hose production

• Created a supercharger sizing tool with a user-friendly interface and automated sizing processes, which is still in use• Utilized sizing tool to provide several customers with the appropriate sized supercharger for their application• Completed drive cycle fuel economy analysis in GT-Suite to determine value proposition for super-turbo diesel concept • Implemented maturity model organization process for the North American modeling and simulation employees• Completed literature reviews and simulations to determine feasibility for several engine air management concepts

• Researched variable valve actuation in a six-cylinder Cummins diesel engine to enable advanced combustion modes• Operated engine test cell, calibrated equipment, and assisted in the creation of a control-oriented system model• Characterized the dynamics of the engine’s air handling system using physically-based engine software (GT-Power)

Redesigned engine damper adapter and exhaust shields, obtained Six Sigma Greenbelt, saved $2M in pricelist errors

Determined feasibility of a new turbine disk design through stress and fatigue analysis

Recertified a commercial engine for military use through FAA critical feature reviews
