Identify and provide technical, schedule assistance and support necessary to integrate and implement future baseline and flight upgrades into selected Naval assetsProvide engineering, quality assurance, administrative and programmatic support for the acquisition, design, test, installation and activation of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)

Supported Naval Sea Systems Command, Amphibious Warfare Program (PMS377), Landing Craft Technical Division (6-Division). Reviewed existing military specifications, Naval Sea Systems Command white paper analysis, and Naval craft design drawings to spearhead Craft Change Documents (CCDs) and Hazard/Impact Risk Identification Forms & Assessment Summaries to address and resolve marginal and critical-level hazardous complications.Contributed to the development of test plans for various components of Naval Hovercraft under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program contracts.Evaluated and qualified shock-mitigation seats from six vendors, and support efforts to convince program to install selected seats on future naval fleet assets.Researched and assessed alternative marine-grade, aluminum and stainless steel alloys to modify and improve structural performance on fleet assets.

Directed by Dr. Lily Claiborne, senior lecturer and head of Vanderbilt's Earth and Environmental Science Undergraduate Studies.Calculated partition coefficients of trace elements from zircon samples gathered from Mount St. Helens.Created 11 lattice strain models displaying trace element incorporation into zircon based on radius of substituent cations and the elastic modulus of substituent lattice sites.Incorporated data and models into a research paper published in Spring 2017 focusing on petrochemistry and the chemical analysis of Zircon samples to understand large scale magmatic processes.
