Structural Design and Analysis• Bonded joint analysis for Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). Developed method to plot 3D quadratic failure envelope for bond joints utilizing VBA and MATLAB.• Actuator analysis for WFIRST. Analyzed multiple load scenarios using Von Mises failure criterion and bolted joint analysis techniques for CDR.• Hexapod analysis for WFIRST. Examined envelope failures resulting from budgeted tolerance integration alignments, Mechanical adjustments, & thermal effects• Actuator placement optimization for Habitable Exoplanet Observatory project, utilizing SigFit and Nastran.. Analyzed actuator response on mirror due to gravity sag and temperature loadings to determine optimal placement of candidate actuatorsThermal Testing • Monitored thermocouple data for thermal testing on JPL mirror and made calculations to assess performance of thermal chillers. Made necessary adjustments and replacements to chillers. Research and Development • Reduced data for reflectivity analysis on laser-cut carbon nanotubes. Co-authored a report documenting the testing, analysis work and major findings.Talent and Resource Management• Tracked staffing, recruitment and attrition data for each mechanical engineering department and created VBA tools to expedite data processing• Developed system to analyze drawing releases against headcount for proposals

• Analyzed CTE based on laminate stacking sequence• Conducted carbon nanotube property testing and evaluated results• Utilized FEMAP & CLT in structural design work• Obtained hands-on composite lay-up experience
