- Assisted with several Six Sigma process improvement projects.- Aggregated data sets on CO2 emissions and installed capacity of renewable energy technologies.

- Developed a procedure for delivering an impulse of tracer pellets to an extruder's material flow to characterize the stress distribution in the barrel.- Wrote a LabVIEW program that compares the residence time curves of stress-sensitive tracer capsules to a reference curve, allowing for the quantification of stresses in an extruder.

- Modified a FORTRAN program to compare multiple hardness maps to determine changes in hardness over time in a multi-pass weld.- Showcased my department's work by delivering a 20-page final report and a 10-minute presentation on our findings to other departments at the Naval Research Lab.
