Service-to-Industry seismic qualification testing

Instructor for CIE 323 - Structures I: This course is the first of a two-course sequence required of all undergraduate civil engineering students at the University at Buffalo. The course deals with basic aspects of structural analysis (classical and energy methods) and design. This course primarily concentrates on structural systems, on the analysis of statically determinate structures, the construction of internal force diagrams, the construction and use of influence lines, the calculation of deflections, the determination of loads and some elements of design.

Teaching Assistant for CIE 428: undergraduate steel design

As a project manager, while still performing hands-on day-to-day structural engineering, I was responsible for the management of the design and construction of projects. During this growth period I was also involved with numerous third party peer reviews performing value engineering and constructability review services.

As a project engineer, additional responsibilities included being a key role in all phases of a project, from the beginning schematic phase to responsibility of a project during construction phase.

As a design engineer, I was responsible for the structural engineering and detailing for a wide range of building projects from new to existing construction. Experience in the design of structural systems included all types of building construction from steel, wood, masonry and concrete systems. In particular, I was one of the firm’s specialists in post-tensioned concrete design. Beyond the aspects of the pure engineering, learning to efficiently communicate and coordinate with the Architect, other design disciplines and general contractors on a project team was vital to my growth as a design engineer.
