- Performed linear and non-linear finite element analyses of space vehicle primary and secondary structures, biomedical devices, and amusement park rides in NX/MSC NASTRAN and ABAQUS - Improved existing customer analysis workflow by developing technical processes for vibration analysis post-processing in Python/Excel that were ultimately integrated into.

Herndon, VA

El Segundo, CA

- Performed non-linear thermo-mechanical finite element analyses of space vehicle electronic equipment in ABAQUS for a number of national defense space programs- Performed independent reviews of contractor structural analyses, environmental tests, and life tests to determine adequacy and requirements satisfaction- Assisted failure investigations by.

Promontory, Utah

- Performed linear-elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analyses in ANSYS and ABAQUS to support the Space Launch System Program- Performed fracture analysis in ABAQUS using both explicitly modeled cracks and XFEM- Acted as the corporate STEM Outreach Committee lead, assuming responsibility for task scheduling, budget/resource allocation, and outreach.

Ann Arbor, Michigan

- Investigated the interaction between helicopter active rotor control and handling qualities- Created a FORTRAN code module to apply control surface saturation on active rotor flaps in the University of Michigan helicopter aeroelastic simulation code AVINOR - Research was performed under the guidance of Professor Peretz Friedmann

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

- Performed experimental modal analysis of a steel wing using accelerometer and impulse hammer measurements as well as laser Doppler vibrometry- Utilized ABAQUS to perform finite element modal analysis on the wing for comparison with experimental results- Research was performed under the guidance of Professor Lawrence Bergman

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

- Taught a section of ENG 198, an introductory engineering class that allows incoming freshmen to further involve themselves in engineering and work cooperatively on engineering projects.- Researched relevant topics and presented information and weekly lessons to students to aid them in their projects.

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

- Taught ENG 100, a class that introduces incoming freshmen to campus resources and the college of engineering.- Prepared class activities and lecture material.

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

- Researched the capabilities and feasibility of using Vicon motion capture camera technology to interpolate micro-aerial vehicles’ aerodynamic characteristics.- Wrote MATLAB code to perform spectral analysis on propeller data from motion capture cameras and compare with tachometer measurements of propeller speed - Research was performed under the guidance.

Arlington, Texas

- Designed user interfaces in ENOVIA, a project lifecycle management software, by coordinating with subject matter experts- Edited functional specification reports on the designed user interfaces and developed prototype images using GIMP- Produced instructional videos of the newly developed engineering processes using Camtasia

Champaign, IL

- Conducted on-site sound level measurements of air traffic noise from Boston Logan Airport over residential areas.- Conducted on-site sound level measurements in Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, IL and Homer Lake in Homer, IL to study the properties of wind-induced leaf noise. Completed a report detailing the results and methods used.
