• Aerospace Engineer, Flow Diagnostics TeamAerospace Systems Directorate – Aerospace Vehicles Division - Aerodynamic Validation Branch
• Flow diagnostics team member tasked with conducting flow visualization and analysis experiments invarious flow regimes ranging from low subsonic velocities to Mach 6 in several different facilities
• Set up and calibrate flow diagnostics equipment such as Schlieren, Particle Image Velocimetry, andShack-Hartmann Boundary Layer sensors before a test begins and conduct data collection from thevarious cameras and.
• Develop Matlab codes to process and refine data taken during tests and reduce the data to criticalinformation for reports and presentations
• Design Matlab Graphical User Interfaces and update legacy codes to improve the user experienceand vastly increase the rate at which data can be analyzed allowing for quick analysis of data duringtesting
• Investigate potential new flow diagnostic techniques from papers and presentations and test them in abench lab setting to determine their usefulness in a future tunnel test

Performed quasi-static testing and analysis of high performance fibers used in bullet proof vests. I researched ballistic impacts of projectiles with Kevlar yarns to determine the failure mode at varying velocities and with different projectile types. Worked in a small team with a PhD and Masters student and I personally presented our findings at the.
