Create and maintain burner sizing programs to help design burners properly.Deal directly with customers to help gauge their needs from a burner company.Manage burner projects from the sales phase to burner construction / project completion.Utilizing a working knowledge of pressure regulators, flow control valves, flow meters, transmitters to design a valve train to control fuel delivery to the burner. Work with vendors to ensure the equipment purchased will work for our needs.Assist sales engineers to determine the right sized equipment to sell.

Ran full scale burners in Zeeco's test furnaces and took measurements of fuel pressure, fuel flow rate, fuel temperature, combustion air flow rate, air pressure drop, furnace draft pressure, and flue gas emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and excess oxygen (O2). Ran calculations to convert our measurements to match customer parameters such as temperatures, atmospheric pressures, and fuel heating values.Made changes to the test burners to adjust the measurements to match the customer's desired conditions.

Storrs, Ct

Gained leadership experience by leading, teaching, and supervising undergraduate engineering students to help them perform laboratory experiments in a class room setting. Taught fundamental engineering concepts to undergraduate students in office hours to give them a better understanding of their classroom material.Graded papers and evaluated undergraduate student performance in the classroom.

Storrs, Ct

Gained hands on experience maintaining and improving a small scale experimental combustion rig.Studied the auto ignition of a jet flame in a flue gas crossflow as well as bluff body flames in a flue gas crossflow.Used lasers and high speed cameras to perform Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements to determine the flow fields of flames. Wrote software code to analyze the flow field data from PIV and to determine the location of the flame edge.Used the Particle Image Velocimetry measurement technique to gather flow field data of various flame set ups. .

Boston Ma

Traveled to customer sites to take electrical power and water consumption measurements before and after project completion.Wrote Measurement & Verification Plan to determine how customer energy savings would be verified.

Student in Mechanical Engineering. A focus in energy and pursuing a position in the energy field.

I updated drawings of fuel cell test stands and helped engineers and technicians perform a hazard analysis for test stands in the lab.

I updated test stand drawings using AutoCad software.

I updated various mechanical, piping, and electrical drawings for buildings. I also gained experience taking water samples for the environmental engineering department.

Master Of Science (M.S.), Mechanical Engineering
