Researching baselining techniques for securely quantifying energy productivity, costs, and emissions to guide the design of products, processes, and supply chain networks within CyManII's Cybersecure Energy & Emissions Quantification (CEEQ) group.

• Collaborated directly with manufacturing technology engineers to understand plant operations at a starch production facility with a goal of identifying bottlenecks as well as assisting with plant scheduling.
• Developed a robust agent-based simulation in AnyLogic that is flexible for different workflows including multiple products lines each with their own upstream and downstream steps as well as flow rates, capacities and.
• Built an interactive dashboard that allows the engineers execute experiments and visualize key performance indicators dynamically throughout the simulation.

• Demonstrated feasibility of using ML models (XGBoost, neural nets) to predict performance metrics for Raymond’s forklift product line by achieving low mean absolute errors on the order of 1/1000.
• Developed a configurable automatic data pipeline on Domino Data Lab that pulls data from CAN messages on the truck in real time, transforms and feature engineers the data dependent on truck specifications.
• Presented various diagnostic strategies using this IoT data covering stakeholder perspectives including Raymond, third-party dealers and customers.

• Collaborating with a small team of engineers to develop a new ergometer (indoor rower) that closely matches accelerations felt in rowing boats.
• The project includes research design/planning, model development, and data collection/synthesis involving substantial use of dynamics.
