My project objective was to support the development of thermo-physical property database and perform relevant material evaluation on thermal management products. I analyzed the modes of heat transfer mechanisms involved with radiative sources and how reflective and insulated products performed under certain conditions. I also identified how differences in.

I was responsible for operating one of the largest and busiest sections of the park that had over 100 employees working in it. I streamlined processes, such as standard methods of performing usual labor, and employee schedules by 20%. This was done through a rotational assignment schedule in order to keep up with normal park operations while also.
