- Use particle image velocimetry (PIV)/ particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) to examine the interaction between a suspension fluid consisting of micro-spheres and a Newtonian solvent and various rigid porous media models.- Velocity profiles are extracted through various Matlab programs from the PIV velocity data and the properties at the interface between the porous media and a free flow region are examined.- Create flow channels, brackets, and porous media models thought CAD. Construct the corresponding experimental apparatus and assemble necessary equipment to examine the desired parameters of the flow loop.- Temporary COVID-19 Project: Analyzed the splatter produced by high-speed dental tools using optical flow tracking velocimetry and shadowgraphy to measure the droplet velocity and size of the propagating splatter.

- Analyzing flame- vortex interaction in a three dimensional premixed hydrogen-air simulation.- Calculate Eulerian criteria and use that to identify turbulent structure cores. Utilizing this as well as plotting the simulation data individual vortices are tracked over time to watch their interaction with the flame.- Using different terms in the vorticity evolution equation to attempt to identify the origin of flame generated vorticity, as well as explain the motion of specific structures. - Presented work at APS Division of Fluid Dynamics in November 2014 and November 2015.

- Teaching assistant for fluid mechanics and mechanical vibrations.- Covered lectures when the professor was absent and conducted recitations with additional practice problems.- Assisted students outside of class with help on homework, tests, and project materials.- Helped design project prompts as well as created a grading rubric for mid-semester and final projects.

Hampton, Va

- Worked in the Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion Branch in the Isolator Dynamics Research Laboratory (IDRL) controlling an experimental isolator section of a Scramjet engine.- Ran experiments to characterize the pressure profiles along the inside of the isolator, in hopes to map the shock waves contained.- Mathematically modeled the Venturi flow meter and found usable values for the critical flow factor and discharge coefficient at the various temperature and pressures the isolator was tested at, so to obtain a real time measurement for each during while the isolator controlling system. was running - Derived mathematical equations for uncertainty analysis, and other geometric properties of the isolator apparatus

Potsdam, Ny

- Conducted research on a nano scale rotation disk apparatus used to measure the electromagnetic and vibrational properties of a particle.- Derived the governing equations of motion for the system, and preformed computational analysis using Ansys Workbench. - Designed experimental procedures to test for base line readings of reactions from the disk to different stimuli.

- Demonstrated flexibility while assisting between 15 and 20 students of varying learning speeds and backgrounds with physics and mathematics- Utilize creativity to show students ways of approaching difficult problems and start to think critically.

- Model temperature sensors in a flow using Ansys CFD. Also utilizing the structural components of Ansys conducted rotational analysis on APKWS (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System) motors and power generators, as well as vibrational mode shapes for PMAs.- Creating new tools in Unigraphics that were necessary for production.- Managing the testing for the .5 Mach wind tunnel on site, and updating existing programs while creating executable programs

Washington Dc

- Conducted research on glucose sensors and antibiotic infused nanofibers- Became proficient at nanofabrication in a clean room utilizing many techniques, among those were lithography, sputtering, and etching.- Gained efficiency growing bacteria samples and plating nutrient algar for different disk assay tests, used to test the efficiency of the electorspun nanofibers.

-Tutored students who required extra help for general physics.

Oneonta, New York
