Leading a team of Thermal Analysis Engineers to build the World's first commercial Space Station.

South San Francisco, Ca, Us

- Performed CFD analysis to support design and development of air distribution systems in Controlled Environment Agriculture grow spaces, and managed analysis work outsourced to engineering firms- Built and tested mockups of air distribution systems, developed a 1-D air jet model to simulate air distribution and throw decay, and correlated it with CFD and test data- Authored, developed, and executed farm-level test procedures to verify requirements satisfaction during grow space commissioning- Established a framework for future farm air distribution design verification via analysis, with key tasks & metrics outlined

Westminster, Colorado, Us

- Led the thermal accommodation of an experimental payload (high thermal flux GaN units) on the next-generation Geostationary Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) Satellites for SiriusXM that involved thermal analysis and model correlation, unit development, test and qualification across three companies, and the first-time implementation of novel heat spreading technology and innovative thermal interface design and materials.- Shepherded multiple Geostationary Communications Satellites such as Intelsat-40e, BSAT-4b, SiriusXM-7/8, and TELKOM-4 through design, development, build, test, and launch with the responsibility for all thermal-related aspects including performing Spacecraft thermal model correlation using test data, predicting final on-orbit End-of-Life (EOL) temperatures within contractual margins, and proving inputs for cross-disciplinary analyses.- Completed various thermal analyses to support on-orbit design, and supported SCTV by collecting thermal performance data for model correlation as well as monitoring unit temperatures to ensure safe operation during electrical, power and RF testing.- Successfully executed various continuous improvement projects including the creation of an optical materials properties database, revamp of the peer review process and weekly analysis seminars for the Thermal group, and baselining of processes for the cross-disciplinary engineering team.

Fort Worth, Texas, Us

- Created thermal models to characterize heat transfer (via conduction, convection and radiation) between structures, parts and components during steady state/transient flight conditions, and ground soak of commercial and military rotorcraft.- Performed trade studies and thermal analyses on Avionics and Powerplant (Engines and APUs) to develop efficient thermal management solutions using thermal insulation and cooling fans in adverse conditions including solar radiation absorption and high-hot hover.- Completed CFD simulations to optimize rotorcraft compartment airflow, inlet and exhaust sizing, and simulate exhaust impingement.- Authored and edited official documentation (Thermal Surveys, Supplier Requests for Information, Component/Part Specifications, and Particular Risk Assessments).

College Park, Md, Us

- Designed, fabricated and tested meso-scale DEAs for locomotive applications in micro robots.- Fabricated and integrated micro-scale thermal actuators in small robots as part of CPS: Medium: Ant-Like Micro-robots, an NSF-funded project.

College Park, Md, Us

- Assisted in developing and testing a proprietary composite material (conductive polymer) for use as compliant electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs).

- Revised the CAD models of the fasteners used by the company with special emphasis on the Thrust Reversers for the Boeing 747-8 Program.- Migrated the revised models into the MRAS PDM system as part of its launch and testing.- Performed preliminary diagnostic and post-revision tests on the CAD assemblies containing the fasteners in order to determine the best way to update said assemblies.- Consulted on the development of an Excel macro to enable the quick and efficient installation of the updated fastener models in all the assemblies.
