• FEMAP/Nastran structural analysis of heat shield of Vulcan heavy lift rocket, through multiple flight phases.• Random vibration and thermal growth analysis of metallic electrical bracketry that is attached to a carbon laminate composite structure.• Directed design changes after assessing multiple design iterations that resulted in improved modal natural frequencies on the metallic baseplate and electrical bracketry of the Vulcan heat shield.

• Explicit Finite element method analysis of next generation crossover body structures using LS-DYNA, simulating dynamic pothole loading and seat belt pull in vehicle operating/crash situations.• Lead exterior finite element analysis of mid-size truck ZR2, proposing and implementing design solutions to meet performance targets. This resulted in a TeamGM award• Performed full size truck front and rear exterior finite element analysis using Optistruct and LS-DYNA through its entire advanced vehicle development program. • Provided critical support and performed non-standard analysis to resolve Silverado/Sierra full size truck headlamp and headlamp fastener failure during late stage hardware testing. • CAE modeling and optimization of rear bumper subsystems resulting in a 1.058 Kg mass savings, while meeting all performance targets.• Fatigue analysis on exterior and structural components for body on frame vehicles, using proprietary fatigue software.• Identified full size truck bumper/frame durability issue and proposed design change that resolved the issue. This resulted in a TeamGM award.• Concept development and optimization of rear bumper to improve modal and step load performance. This analysis used LS-DYNA to simulate an individual stepping onto the step platforms of a rear bumper system.• Performed low speed government regulatory impact analysis using LS-DYNA on next generation Cadillac. This involved using a rigid wall or pendulum to impact the front or rear of the vehicle
