Provide finite element analysis consulting services as a government contractor.

Pullman, Washington, United States

In this role, I researched and developed novel machine learning techniques to extract patterns from numerical simulations of protein systems.Achievements:- Accelerated numerical sampling of reactions by up to 4 orders of magnitude by leveraging machine learning models and local optimization techniques.- Automated interfacing of custom machine learning models and numerical simulation software with Python scripts.- Validated experimental findings on lithium-ion battery research.- Contributed to and secured 4 research funding proposals.

South San Francisco, California, United States

I devised and implemented graph neural network machine learning models to rapidly predict experimentally measured protein binding affinities.Achievements:- Rapidly evaluated 1000's of peptide candidates to estimate binding affinities in less than 1 second.- Identified and ranked promising clinical drug candidates.

Renton, Washington, United States

In this role, I analyzed landing gear structural components using classical stress methodology and finite element analysis (FEA).Achievements:- Consolidated parametrized set of FEA simulations into tabulated strength vs. geometry curves for aircraft structural components.- Produced user-friendly applications to easily simulate airplane shock struct in under 2-3 seconds of computation with a numerical simulation in Visual Basic (VBA).- Standardized Mathcad templates and documents for consistent and effective presentation of data to customers.

Bozeman, Montana, United States

In this role, I optimized neat resin fabrication techniques to improve the reliability of measured material data.Achievements:- Evaluated 4 different neat resin fabrication techniques to determine the factors impacting the reliability of measured material data.- Designed an optimal resin mold geometry to prevent surface damage imposed during curing process.
