Nuclear software development and maintenance.

Barberton, Ohio

Created C# / Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application to allow managers to review employee work hour history and project future workload. The program interfaces with Access and SQL Server databases, and creates a summary pivot table report in Microsoft Excel.Contributed to development of a Rulestream application that automates and streamlines the process of producing estimating, engineering, and fabrication documents based on customer requirements. Designed and programmed a C# application to allow borrowing of program licenses for use isolated from the company network. Utilized Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for the interface.Managed the transition to a third-party licensing tool (RLM) to protect intellectual privacy in a suite of engineering programs.Assisted with modernization of boiler performance legacy computer programs, including conversion of FORTRAN 77 programs to C.Coordinated co-op engineer hiring and assisted in mentoring by assigning projects and providing guidance as needed.

Barberton, Ohio

Analyzed industrial boiler air system effectiveness using computational models of flow and combustion.

Barberton, Ohio

Conceived, created, and maintained automation software (in Python and PERL) to streamline the usage of the RELAP two-phase flow code for the safety analysis of the B&W mPower nuclear reactor. This software assisted with all phases of the analysis process: Model setup, code execution, and post-processing. Served as Team Leader, managing the administrative aspects of the mPower Barberton Design Center. Acted as primary channel of administrative communication between Barberton and mPower management in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Barberton, Ohio

Improved product design through the application of three-dimensional numerical models to simulate complex physical flow and combustion processes within utility and industrial boilers.Diagnosed flow and combustion problems in boilers and boiler-related equipment using numerical models. Analyzed, reported, and presented modeling results to customers.Developed pre- and post-processing software tools to speed model set-up and analysis.

Bachelor’S Degree, Mechanical Engineering, Summa Cum Laude

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Mechanical Engineering

Thesis: A Structured-Grid Adaptive Mesh Refinement Multigrid Algorithm for Steady-State Flows
