Developing cybersecurity, interoperability, and certification solutions to accelerate deployments of grid-edge devices and associated communication systems.

Albuquerque, New Mexico Area

Taught Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualization by lecturing and providing face-to-face assistance for more than 100 students, guiding their development of technical drafting, 2D and 3D CAD

Thesis: Roll-Feed Imaging System to Fabricate Thin Film Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells: Design, Control and Quality Assurance.I designed, constructed and tested a roll-feed fuel cell membrane casting system and associated in-line, real-time nondestructive evaluation technique for determining thin film thickness. Additionally I created an automated machine vision system and accompanying neural network for identifying/classifying defects for in situ manufacturing parameter adjustment.

• Created a control algorithm for a smart electrical grid which provides high-quality demand response services by integrating duty cycling appliances – patent pending• Brainstormed with the multi-disciplinary clean tech research team to identify and broaden the renewable energy and sustainability research thrusts at PARC

• Designed, constructed and tested a stereo-videogrammetry system to detect wind turbine blade buckling during static and fatigue tests• Investigated laser and optical nondestructive blade testing techniques• Created a genetic algorithm to optimize the location and mass of ballast weights for wind turbine blade fatigue testing

• Designed and oversaw the manufacture of a hydraulically-powered resonance mechanism for fatigue testing twist-coupled 10-meter wind turbine blades • Conceptualized and initiated designs of novel wind turbine blade testing mechanisms—submitted 4 innovation reports with 1 resulting patent (pending)• Directed the construction and assembly of the Universal Resonance Exciter and ballast weights for fatigue tests • Collaborated with technicians to instrument a blade for fatigue and modal tests

• Simulated performance of Thermosiphon Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems • Analyzed parametric variations of solar thermal systems using a numerical model
