Rockledge, Florida, United States

• Principal Investigator for a sub-micron cyclonic separator system. Led project execution and milestone delivery while overseeing team coordination. [NASA: 80NSSC21C0541]
• Created a cyclone optimization software to design high efficiency cyclones with low pressure drops.
• Validated theoretical and experimental cyclones using Reynolds stress model and shear stress transport equations in Ansys Fluent and Ansys CFX to accurately model the high turbidity flow.
• Engineered accelerometer orientation software with embedded C code for sled-borne applications.
• Developed a high-efficiency cyclone for carbon nano-flake removal.
• Configured electroplating fixtures for nanocoated steel aircraft tie down fittings.

• Learned ANSYS Mechanical with a focus in static structural and modal analysis.
• Utilized ANSYS Classic for conditions that could not be created in ANSYS Mechanical.
• Analyzed a new heat exchanger gas shield design for a 4-pole large steam generator.
• Determined root cause analyses for fiberglass air guides on H65 and H84 generator models. Manufacturing of the fiberglass composite was the culprit.
• Structurally analyzed a seal casing assembly for a root cause analysis. Micro-dieseling due to fluid flow through the deflected geometry was the culprit.

Blacksburg VA

• Designed and fabricated a fused deposition modeling printer to invertedly print high temperature materials (300°C+) at 1/10th the price of commercially-available printers.
• Developed a process to reuse selective laser sintering powder to create filament for a fused deposition modeling printer. Reduced waste by over 90%.
• Refined a method to create and print alumina ceramic stereolithography resin.

Greenville, South Carolina, United States

• Implemented methods to minimize throughput time on processes for three stages of the 7HA.03 turbine combustion blades.
• Designed a turbine blade water flow fixture to reduce inspection time and increase operator ergonomics.
• Developed a differential pressure monitor to reduce an operation’s time by 66%.
• Learned and utilized Lean Six Sigma workflow.

Blacksburg, VA

• Devised a protocol to test and analyze the creep of polyamide fiber imbedded in NASA’s Moon to Mars Vectran strapped inflatable space habitats.
• Spliced, connectorized, and terminated single mode fiberoptic cables for various government contracts where temperature and strain measurements were needed.
• Designed a mine cart to protect $300,000 worth of interrogator systems and pressure pumps to withstand mine conditions one-mile underground.
• Wrote LabVIEW code for the U.S. Department of Energy to parse test data within a nuclear reactor core. Granted a Q sensitive clearance by the U.S. Department of Energy.
• Created a LabVIEW block diagram for a 6 degree of freedom device to determine the orientation of a rubber inflatable mine packer used for fracking.
