Worked on coupled CSD/CFD coaxial rotor simulations using RCAS and Helios to study the effects of blade indexing and crossover on vibrational loads.

Journeyed from coast to coast and back after graduating, which was the perfect time to do so before launching a career. Garnered insight into the USA's diverse culture and terrain by visiting multiple cities and exploring 21 national parks.

Wiesner Group - Nanomedicine and Optical Imaging(Publications detailed in section below)• Worked in Professor Ulrich Wiesner’s laboratory for seven semesters and two summers studying “C’dot” nanoparticles and their applications. • Designed and tested pill capsules with an enteric coating for oral delivery of nanoparticles.• Optimized, fabricated, and characterized nanoparticles with wet lab techniques.• Purchased and installed a temperature/humidity/carbon dioxide control stage-top incubator on the laboratory’s personal TIRF microscope along with new microscope filter sets. The upgrades will contribute long-term to future research projects.• Cell Culture: cared for and plated MB-231 and HeLa cells (Biosafety Level 2).• Aided with experimental equipment setup and execution, providing a strong physics perspective to biological problems.

• Designed a custom-built assembly line dipstick container with AutoCAD to solve ergonomic and efficiency issues within an allotted $2,500 budget.• Conducted a time-risk analysis study of using safety hoists in the loading dock where employees refused to use them. Concluded that it takes almost twice as long to move items with the hoists than by hand and reported findings to manager to inform future decisions.• Implemented fan dust covers throughout the assembly line to reduce dust contamination and improve air quality for employees. • Assessed and recorded defective Diesel engine components, primarily flywheel housings and pan rails.• Six Sigma Training
