Developed test plans and procedures to support formal qualification and acceptance testing.Drafted and presented test reports as contract deliverables and in support of product gate reviews.Gathered and analyzed data to assess system status and identify product risks and issues.Coordinated with mechanical, electrical, optical, and software engineers to identify and troubleshoot system, testing, and production line issues.Developed and maintained computer models of various system subcomponents to ascertain risks and predict product performance. Interfaced with customer representatives to establish and revise system requirements.

Mechanical Engineering Design - Assisted student design teams in the development of their projects, time and resource management, budgeting, and team conflict resolution.Introduction to Engineering - Familiarized first year students with mechanical measurements, basic machine shop operations, and exposed them to engineering design through robotics.Machines and Society - Introduced non-engineering students to common engineering systems and principles. Direct hands-on lab sessions showcasing the use of mechanical technology in daily life.

Biomedical Instrumentation And Robotics Laboratory

My research involved the development and testing of a series of custom magnetic fluid-based dampers for use in a medical orthosis for the mechanical suppression of tremor. I collaborated in the design the dampers as well as several testing apparatuses, mathematical models, and control strategies. I have also acted as lead research analyst for a number of consulting projects commissioned through the university. My computational modeling experience includes dynamic mechanisms, heat transfer and thermal expansion physics, structural analysis, acoustics, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetism.

Automation And Robotics Research Institute

Updated and documented computer code for implementation with new robotic hardware. Calibrated hardware and prepared demonstrations of the Distributed Intelligence and Autonomy Laboratory.

Operated and calibrated laboratory machinery (DNA synthesizer, analytical balance, spectrophotometer, and liquid scintillation counter). Prepared various solutions and chemical buffers.

Developed a series of strategic programs to solve logic puzzles using set theory. Presented research and findings at department colloquium events.
