• 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.• Calculated the maximum heater core spacings within a printed Zeolite structure to remove absorbed CO2 within a wanted ramp up time.• Designed a hydro cyclone to separate sea water debris for navy ship components.• Designed and implemented a pressure swing adsorption continuous feed train to separate semi-volatile radionuclide from a UNF aqueous reprocessing stream.

• 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.
