Perform the same to investigate any failures or anomalies during engine testing to improve the design & our understanding of the engine. Show less

Technical lead within the cold section static structures group.Successfully built turbofan full engine model to predict vibrations due to rotor unbalance using a combination of 3D, 2D (shell), beam, and super-elements.Used all available research (internal, and published) to develop a hailstone model in LS-Dyna to predict damage to stator vanes subject to hailstone impact. Updated existing best practices and our approach to certifying paving the way for more analysis and rig testing, and… Show more Technical lead within the cold section static structures group.Successfully built turbofan full engine model to predict vibrations due to rotor unbalance using a combination of 3D, 2D (shell), beam, and super-elements.Used all available research (internal, and published) to develop a hailstone model in LS-Dyna to predict damage to stator vanes subject to hailstone impact. Updated existing best practices and our approach to certifying paving the way for more analysis and rig testing, and less costly full engine testing.Responsible for assessing the risk to structural integrity of gas generators due to manufacturing deviations for many engine programs.Supervised co-op students and engineers at SEO (satellite engineering office) Show less
