Designed oxygen, dehumidifier, co2 scrubber, air circulation and pressure control systems for the cargo dragon vehicle.Designed and performed characterization, acceptance, qualification, verification and vehicle integrity testing.Performed final flight checkouts and walk downs and provided final approval for flight readiness on Dragon missions.

Design build and fly life support hardware for ISS resupply of live experiments.

At Notre Dame I focused on numerically automated design of shaped hull structures for structural deformation mitigation. Large scale structural deformations are of interest in the vehicle level blast mitigation problem because they translate to occupant loads. Convex primary mode dominated shape functions are shown to mitigate large scale deformations of thin walled structures due to blast loading.

Designed, prototyped, tested and documented mechanical single phase dc and three phase ac motor protector devices. I managed global applications for the 37HM third generation three phase motor protector line and attended global customer meetings with Samsung, LG, Hitachi Shanghai and Danfoss China. I conducted audits of 7895 and 37HM production lines in China and in May, 2007, received management recognition for improving 37HM production yield by 20%.

I performed transient thermal analysis for the CRaTER and PICTURE projects, conducted frequency and static analysis of the CRaTER chassis and bulkhead and presented numerical results to a GSFC internal review board.
