lane.keyes@gmail.comI am a Georgia Tech degreed MS Mechanical Engineer experienced in aerospace engineering, stress and fluids analysis, research and product design, plus new pollution control concepts. I have offered success in providing economical solutions to technical problems, managing and developing various engineering projects within design, analysis, manufacturing, and testing.Previously, I worked as a Mechanical Engineer Specialist- Stress Analyst at Rolls-Royce Corporation in Indianapolis, IN. I was part of the Rotatives and Critical Parts group where I had the opportunity to work on the design, analysis, repair, and certification of the fan, compressor, and turbine rotative parts. My responsibilities involved performing analyses using FEA (ANSYS), hand calculations, and rig testing. Conceptual design, repair, and the auditing of junior analysts were included as secondary responsibilities of the job.Prior to Rolls-Royce, I spent 4 years working as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Velocys, a start-up company commercializing microchannel Gas to Liquids (GTL) technology. While in this position I played a variety of roles, primarily focusing on the design and structural analysis of Fischer-Tropsch reactors and Steam Methane Reformers. I also worked with manufacturing and experimental operations on fabrication and prototype testing, contributing a key role to the commercialization and scale-up of GTL reactors. I led post-operation autopsies of reactors by supporting the dismantling, specimen prep, and examination. I am proud to say that I have been part of successfully commercializing Velocys’ technology that will allow for cleaner, more efficient fuel refining.Specialties: advanced mechanical design, computational fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, plasticity, creep, and high temperature analysis using FEA, critical components lifing, stress concentration and low cycle fatigue analysis, crack growth, pressure vessel design, Keyence microscope
