Sintered friction material development team leader for new applications and the continual improvement of production materials. This includes formulation and processing of friction materials, establishing protocols to customer criteria or international standards, and verification of manufacturability. Aforementioned tasks entail formulating and developing processes for mainly sintered friction materials to meet customer requirements. Also serving as the dynamometer engineer for programming, trouble shooting, and retrofitting of new test measurement equipment along with responsibility for both on vehicle testing of candidate materials and brake stand laboratory test assessment.

Providing technical support and information to automotive racing teams both remotely and track side

Duties included instructing PTC Pro-ENGINEER Creo software to four labs of approximately twenty students and evaluating their performance.

Forming of brake pad composites to be tested on a full scale brake dynamometer. Testing done to minimize the environmental impact of particulate matter released under braking.

Research in carbon nano-tubes using furnace reactors to bond to supplied powders. Research done to find reactions that take place that could compromise the specimen or equipment.

Machining various materials to specifications provided by the university's labs to be used in experiments. Machining included turning, milling, boring, and drilling. Once machined, assembly and fitting done according to supplied schematics.
