Co-leading an effort to incorporate more software and rigorous modelling and characterization in the design process when developing a vehicle each year. Current work includes development of an in-house model of the current drivetrain using PLECS and Simscape to better characterize efficiency losses and predict vehicle performance, diagnosis of low-speed.

Responsibilities include collaborating with vehicle dynamics chief to determine backlog of work and assess how best to delegate tasks to team members, as well as supporting projects and efforts already in progress to ensure deadlines are hit for manufacturing, build, and test. Work has ranged from simulation-oriented to more physical/manufacturing-oriented.

Spearheading data analysis related to vehicle dynamics but also in an effort to debug mechanical and electrical faults related to power delivery (e.g. sensor calibration, motor control PID tuning, tolerances introducing efficiency loss).Iterated on the 2024 suspension design for the 2025 car in collaboration with other functional areas within dynamics as.

Worked in the Simulation, Mechatronics, and Structures group under the Core Lab Solutions R&D business area where I developed an indirectly sensed force feedback control scheme for an in-house servo-based gripper to be used in the Atellica lineup of sample handlers. I leveraged Simulink and Matlab to create a hardware-in-the-loop model of the entire.

Devoted 10 hours per week to teach students the Newtonian and Lagrangian formalisms of classical mechanics in the context of engineering problems, involving both conservative and non-conservative forces. Held office hours and also fielded questions outside of office hours to provide support on homework assignments and exams.

Developed and maintained embedded software for a fielded radar system, working in close concert with systems engineers to architect novel capabilities and triage time- and mission-critical system defects in an Agile environment.As a result of the initiative I took during an extended period of staff shortage due to turnover and retirements, I was promoted a.

This section describes the technical work that I performed during the entirety of my employment, not specific to my role as a Software Engineer I. The content of my work did not change as a result of my promotion.Software design work of note includes a concept I architected which allowed for over an 80-percent reduction in thread throughput by bypassing a.

My electrical engineering capstone project. Developed a network of microcontroller units (MCUs) to communicate data via CAN bus to a central MCU in charge of controlling all on-board electronics. Working remotely, I handled the software while in close communication with those on campus with access to the garage working on the associated hardware and.

Collaborated with high voltage team members to develop systems requiring, supplying, or monitoring voltage greater than 12V, including the batteries, battery management system, various activity lights, and the motor and inverter. Personal work included 3D-modeling in CAD software (Onshape and Solidworks) to create a mounting solution for the tractive.

Laid the groundwork for the usage of drones in the context of surveying the local white-tailed deer population in and around Hamilton, New York under mentorship of Prof. Enrique Galvez.Work included gathering information on thermal infrared imaging, familiarization with FAA guidelines for Part 107 commercial drone piloting, and participating in flights.

Hamilton, New York

Devoted 8-12 hours per week to supplement lectures by providing assistance to students during and outside of laboratory hours. Provided further instruction of course material and troubleshooted digital (Arduino-controlled, TTL-based) and analog (op-amp, diode, transistor) circuits. Hosted weekly tutoring sessions outside of regularly scheduled class.

Hamilton, New York

Worked with two other musicians to maintain orchestra’s library of music. Was responsible for preparation of music (bowings, photocopies, etc.), and distribution/collection of music to/from students and professionals at the beginning and end of a concert cycle.

Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

Explored implementation of MEMS sensors in cost-efficient datalogging devices to replace analog geophones in detection of sub-1 Hz oscillations (in the context of geomorphology and seismology research) under mentorship of Prof. Andrew Wickert.Work involved writing and reading bit data to and from memory registers of sensors and analog-digital converters.

Hamilton, New York

Supported the development of a NASA-funded spaceflight mass spectrometer for in-situ dating of extraterrestrial rock specimens, using laser ablation and resonance ionization for radioisotopic geochronology under mentorship of Prof. Jonathan Levine.Project is aimed at developing the laser technology and compactifying the apparatus to eliminate the need to.
