Working with professor to help teach Vibration, Control, and Optimization II. My primary duties include leading lab sections, holding weekly office hours, and grading assignments. As a former student of the class, I play an important role in helping the the professor shape the learning plan for the benefit of the current students.

College Park, Md, Us

Working on a project within the Center for Environmental Energy Engineering. The project is looking at developing a hybrid solar cooling system to increase the coefficient of performance of the vapor compression cycle (VCC). My primary responsibilities include designing and building a dual wind tunnel facility to test the performance of a desiccant wheel, a device that removes moisture from air and decreases the required energy input in the VCC.

I worked with a small team to manage a transition process for the finance and procurement operations of an international higher education company and aimed to save $17 million in annual labor costs. I created robust dashboards that compiled labor cost data from over 6000 employees. Lastly, I leveraged Excel’s data analysis capabilities to accurately calculate labor savings for the client across all regions.

Worked as a Functional Analyst Intern on the USPS account. My role consisted of primarily creating test materials, which include but are not limited to test data, scripts, and conditions. My team was in the systems integration testing phase on the latest release of an Oracle Database. On an under-staffed team, I was tasked with quickly learning and implementing the relevant SQL knowledge needed to execute the systems integration testing, and played an essential role in getting my team back on track with their project timeline by the end of my internship.
