Boca Raton, Fl

• Responsibility for class preparation, delivery, and assessment classes in the Department of Mechanical Engineering including: Dynamics, Computer Applications, andFundamentals of Engineering.

Middletown, Ohio

• Set priorities and daily work assignments for seven Process Control Engineers supporting the Process Control computers for the Hot Rolling Department. • Responsibility for the on-going enhancement and evolution of the Hot Strip Mill Shape Setup Model.

Middletown, Ohio

• Set priorities and daily work assignments for seven Process Control Engineers supporting the Steel Making Department. • Responsibility for the development and installation of a chemical mixing model for changing steel grades in the Continuous Casting process.

Middletown, Ohio

• Directed the development of procedures and software to download Operations and Inventory files to desktop computers to support specific schedule building models. • Direct supervision of two senior engineers as well as four other individuals as part of a special project team.• Developed spreadsheet based planning models to facilitate the monitoring and adjustment of proposed operating level for the Primary Manufacturing portion of the Steel Mill. - Plans were for a one-year time frame and adjusted monthly to account for actual results. - Plans included setting Coke Plant and Blast Furnace operating levels, interplant transfers, and outside sales to sustain production and minimize inventory levels.

Middletown, Ohio

• Designed and directed the development of a scheduling model to produce operating sequences for the Continuous Casting machines resulting in: - More uniform scheduling procedures among human schedulers, - More direct flow of material through subsequent operations, - Better application of material to customer orders, and - Significantly less excess production going to inactive inventory.

Middletown, Ohio

Member of a five-person team that developed a plant-wide Energy Management System with individual responsibility for building the “Energy Supply and Demand” model which was used to: - Forecasted operating levels, - Predicted the generation of by-product energy sources, - Predicted the total energy demand for the plant, and - Forecasted the types and quantities of purchased fuels that were necessary to satisfy the energy total demand.

Cincinnati, Ohio

• Assigned to project team for the design and implementation of the “Early Warning Organic Detection System”. • Responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the Commission’s water quality model, STREAM. • Developed an algorithm that described how the turbulence created at the high lift dams on the Ohio River adds oxygen to the water.

Cincinnati, Ohio

• Developed an alternative sampling strategy to the US EPA mandated method for collection and evaluation of data used to assess the impact of power plant cooling water intakes on a source water body which provided better data for analysis of the effects at a significantly reduced cost. • Preparation of proposals for consulting work including: - River basin planning project in the Louisville Kentucky area, - Water quality modeling project in North Dakota, and - Power plant siting project in the Ohio River basin.
