Developing the design of structural elements subject to blast loading and coordinating other protective design features such as hazardous vehicle mitigation and façade hardening.

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

I worked with students in a 1-on-1 setting to help them improve their English writing for reports and theses. During this time I learned for myself about how to effectively communicate scientific ideas.

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

I carried out lesson plans and led discussions for the master program class Advanced Fluid Mechanics.

Brea, California, United States

I worked in the transmission and distribution department, assisting in the design and upkeep of transmission power lines using in-house software. I also learned about client communication and product delivery according to client standards.

Los Angeles, California, United States

I helped manage a student team as we designed a 20 foot span bridge for the annual AISC Steel Bridge Competition. We designed joints and contributed to the overall structure according to competition standards. I used Solidworks to test the performance of experimental joint configurations.

Los Angeles, California, United States

I led a team of students in an intensive competition to create a design, estimations, and schedule of a given construction task. This was the first year that UCLA competed in the design-build competition, so I had to design workdays and create project goals from the ground up with the help of industry coaches.

Los Angeles, California, United States

My co-instructor and I developed a curriculum and daily lesson plans for two consecutive four week camps designed to excite students and facilitate their learning. Each camp was concluded with a technical project on a simple approach to seismic design.

Los Angeles, California, United States

Helped lead a team of students to design and build a 3 foot tall model high-rise that would withstand historic earthquakes recreated by a shake table.
