• Dynamic position within a close-knit team with a focus on investigating new emerging technologies and improving legacy systems for submarines.• Conducted comprehensive multi-physics finite element analyses (FEA) coupled with feedback. Results were then assessed with in-depth stability analyses and validated through extensive experimental studies.• Applied advanced statistical and signal processing algorithms (time and frequency domains) to derive valuable insights leading to quantitatively-driven solutions.• Designed data-processing oriented programs to minimize software licensing expenses, estimated at a one-time $125k and annual $25k savings.• Additional skills include efficient management of time and project resources, mentoring both new-hires and senior staff, an aptitude for learning new concepts quickly, and lastly the capacity to effectively communicate and adopt either a leadership or support role.

• Thesis: Investigated bio-inspired techniques for mitigating trailing edge flow noise -- applications include wind turbine blades, aircraft wings, and UAV technologies.• Academics: Core courses in numerical analyses of cellular kinematics, biofluidics, bioinformatics, acoustics and advanced engineering mathematics.• Collaborated with research teams investigating vocal fold disorders, utilizing a combination of high-speed video and sensor data on an artificial human airway. Techniques applied include DIC, PIV, and high-speed tomography to conduct physics-based analyses and create 3D reconstructions.• Created automated image analysis tools incorporating Kalman filtering, Region of Interest (ROI), and Deblurring algorithms to precisely track the movement of turbulent fluid motion.

• Investigated defense, industry, and fundamental sector technologies in the areas of acoustics, fluid mechanics, mechanical engineering, electronics, and stress-fatigue analysis. Emphasized on designing and testing noise control mechanisms - focused on undersea vehicles, UAVs, and other technologies - and measuring the performance improvement both before and after implementation.• Worked with teams on funding acquisition, budgeting, and project management to secure funds for multiple projects ranging from $100k to $1 million for various DoD agencies, such as ONR, RRTO, JNLWD, and NAVSEA.• Designed efficient fabrication processes for handling high-value materials, carbon-nanotubes, leading to a savings of $1.2m over a 3 year program.

• Served as a liaison & researcher between Penn State's Physics Department and the Applied Research Laboratory to produce carbon nanotube forests for thermophone loudspeakers used in prototype defense technologies.
