Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Managed the deployment of the company’s trademarked Automated Fault Detection and Diagnostic software for HVAC systems, validated the software’s findings, and presented the software along with initial results to clients.Analyzed equipment performance data to eliminate operational inefficiencies, saving clients up to 12% energy savings.Collaborate with the analytics development team to help expand the diagnostics library. Also aiding in designing and developing semiautomated and/or streamlined onboarding processes.Work closely with customers to gather and map sensor data in order to enable diagnostics within Clockworks, then deliver completed projects to customers by leading trainings and providing a detailed presentation of results.

Boston

Researched and designed multiple different test rigs to isolate and investigate the diffusion of free chain polymers and the resulting growth of a two layer hemispherical shell via swelling.Proved our hypothesis by analyzing the data using MATLAB.Found that the snapping phenomenon is a purely geometric property and verified that it can be controlled and used as an actuator.

Fremont, California

Performed various tests on devices and collected Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) readings for LTE, W-CDMA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other wireless communication protocols.Compared the results against FCC standards, determined if the products were safe for use, then compiled the important information into concise reports for the client.Investigated equipment failures to diagnose faulty operation and established the appropriate maintenance procedures.Reviewed the data and compiled the important information into concise reports for the client.
