• Specialized in preparing detailed calculations and analysis for a wide variety of structural elements typically found on water/wastewater treatment plant sites including: - rectangular and circular concrete water-retaining structures - aluminum stairs, platforms, grating, and handrail- concrete corbels, buried vault-type structures, and foundations for storage tanks and towers- timber, masonry, and metal buildings- steel drag struts and roof framing- metal decking- bridge cranes and monorails- pipe bridges- drilled shafts - anchor bolts • Primary responsibilities included coordinating designs with the civil, mechanical, process, and electrical disciplines to ensure that project milestones were reached on time, within scope, and under budget; providing analysis and documentation for preliminary engineering reports, performing water/wastewater treatment plant inspections and creating assessment reports, submitting shop drawing reviews, creating detailed construction plans, calculating structural-related quantities, and creating cost estimates.• Managerial/marketing responsibilities include coordinating project details with the regional teams, preparing scopes, schedules, and budgets for projects, and overseeing the work of engineering interns and technicians.

• Specialized in preparing detailed calculations and analysis for a wide variety of bridge structural elements including: approach slabs, deck slabs and railings, prestressed concrete beams, rolled steel beams, steel plate girders, elastomeric bearing assemblies, abutments, piers, drilled shafts, steel piles, moment slabs, retaining walls, reinforced concrete box (RCB) culverts, and junction boxes. • Primary responsibilities included determining bridge layouts and span arrangements, providing analysis and documentation for preliminary engineering reports, performing bridge inspections and creating assessment reports, calculating bridge load ratings, submitting shop drawing reviews, creating detailed construction plans, calculating bridge quantities, and creating cost estimates.• Managerial/marketing responsibilities included participating in interviews (for clients), preparing scopes, schedules, and budgets for projects, and overseeing the work of engineering interns and technicians.

• Responsibilities included developing, batching, and testing self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures.• Cast two 5’x5’x6’ RCB culverts using the SCC mixtures developed in the research project.• Wrote and successfully defended a thesis.• Results were recommended to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) to be included in their Standard Specifications.• Assisted fellow graduate students in their research programs.
