• Assistant to Professor Damiano Baccarella at the Hypersonics & Propulsion Laboratory that is currently in development.
• Utilized MATLAB to analyze temperature and velocity profiles in the cooling channel for the anode that will be used for material testing.
• Completed an analysis of a preliminary plasma-torch setup in which test data was processed using MATLAB.
• Implemented SOLIDWORKS skills to design material testing hardware that will be installed in January.

Tullahoma, Tennessee, United States

• Worked extensively with Mach 4 and 7 Ludwieg tube wind tunnels shadowing Dr. Mark Gragston.
• Received training to use schlieren, planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF), molecular tagging velocimetry (MTV), and femtosecond laser induced electronic excitation tagging (FLEET).
• Conducted independent preliminary FLEET testing using a Solstice Ace femtosecond laser and conducted substantial schlieren imaging.
• Processed data sets from FLEET imaging experiments to produce a characteristic velocity and temperature of the Mach 7 tunnel.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

• Coordinated with shift supervisors and a floor team of around 100 people to complete a waste reduction initiative which contributed to an overall decrease from 5.75% to 4% waste.
• Utilized EXCEL to condense large amounts of unused waste data and communicated the easiest areas of improvement.
• Managed tooling maintenance team and floor team to overhaul the tooling system using new storage hardware I designed in SOLIDWORKS.
• Improved safety, quality, and productivity, and contributed to an overall increase from 12500 to 24000 converted million square feet per hour.
