• Designed, analyzed (theoretical and simulation), and built novel diamagnetically stabilized magnet levitation systems for low frequency (0.1Hz – 10Hz) vibration-based energy harvesting applications. --- Developed a.
• Extensive experience in writing proposals (under the guidance of my adviser) to funding agencies, such as, NSF and DOE, for grants related to vibration and thermal energy harvesting. CMMI - 1300684 awarded as a result.
• Mentored high school, undergraduate, graduate students, exchange graduate students (from China, South Korea, and Palestine) in performing research activities at the laboratory.Skills used: Electromechanical systems.

• Used CAD/CAM software (Tebis and CATIA) to determine tool pathway instructions (CNC machines) for the manufacture of sheet metal dies.
• Developed a complete process, planning, and production graphic user interface application (visual basic) for the division. Internal report claimed the application cut the time in decision making by 30%.
