West Lafayette, In, Us

- Successfully defended master’s thesis on the increased cooling benefit of non-moving, unsteady flow devices as a replacement to jet impingement cooling for low fluid flow rate applications. - Worked as part of Center for Integrated Thermal Management of Aerospace Vehicles (CITMAV) to research next generation cooling techniques for high transient heat loads using fluidic oscillators. - Redesigned multiple fluid-thermal test articles for increased efficiency and expanded functionality, including a laser flash cooling article which resulted in increased testing repeatability and stability of chemicals.

-Data analysis for student surveys-RCEL conference assistant coordinator

-Responsible for ensuring the safety of facility patrons by preventing andresponding to emergencies-Attend/Lead regular meetings and stay up to date with skills and knowledge

-Working on manipulator system for research robots in order to develop how systems of robots can work better in groups to cumulatively accomplish a single goal. Design and construction with SolidWorks software and laser cutting.-Worked with a small team to design and construct a mobile user interface for a travelling robotics exhibit that will eventually be displayed at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. (Spring 2012)

- Wrote a program to estimate the mass of a heavy lift launch vehicle through equation back solving and iteration with the help of another intern.- My tasks included research about current/past rocket specifications, and assist with equation derivation and programming using Microsoft Excel.- I accomplished all of my tasks, wrote a twenty-three page paper and gave a presentation in front of a board of NASA officials, all while learning how to better program using Excel, and how to draw on the strengths of others for assistance
