• Design and prototype of a radio frequency additive manufacturing (RFAM) printer that melts powdered nylon volumetrically as opposed to layer-by-layer• Innovation of a novel additive manufacturing technology that has the promise of being faster, cheaper, and more accessible than the existing selective laser sintering (SLS) technology• Frequent communication with industry professionals in the 3d printing / additive manufacturing industry

• Frequent use of SOLIDWORKS for part design and MATLAB for manual calculations, use of ANSYS for individual part and assembly FEA• Optimizing part design for low cost, low weight and high stiffness, resulting in a 4-seater solar SUV that can travel at 45mph+ indefinitely• Experience with carbon fiber composite testing and composite shell manufacturing for the car’s aeroshell

• Labeled new equipment and serviced old equipment to result in least downtime• Worked on and learned about manufacturing equipment such as optical sorters, baghouses, cyclones, airlocks, RTOs, PLCs, conveyors, processes like LO / TO, PSSR / Startup, and standards like NFPA codes, state and county energy and waste management, etc.• Managed independently driven projects and communicated within plant engineering team and third-party contractors
