Responsible for advanced engineering research and development of fluid filtration systems.

Experimentally explored the pressure rise rate impact on radiated engine noise for non-knocking combustion of a small single-cylinder SI engine undergoing abnormal combustion. Explored the capability of accelerometers to detect engine combustion phasing of an HCCI engine on a cyclic basis for use in closed-loop engine control.

Explored the capability of accelerometers to detect engine combustion phasing of an HCCI engine on a cyclic basis for use in closed-loop engine control. Developed and constructed an experimental single-cylinder HCCI engine at Missouri S&T. Derived a simple vibration model to predict the vibration characteristics of an HCCI engine. Performed modal analysis to validate the model and investigate the influence of engine modal characteristics on radiated noise. Investigated the cyclic variations in HCCI combustion at partial burn limits using a simple thermodynamic model and experiments. Show less

Developed a multi-clocked variable rate NI FPGA data acquisition system for simultaneous internal combustion engine/vibration data collection. Experimentally investigated the capabilities of using accelerometers to detect combustion phasing for a 4-cylinder DICI engine undergoing high-efficiency clean combustion.

Investigated the use of automotive grade knock sensors for extraction of in-cylinder combustion characteristics in a diesel engine. Correlated combustion metrics to engine block vibration metrics.

Assisted Product Designers in completing factory orders as well as converted standard parts from AutoCAD drawings to Inventor part drawings.
