Staff Member,

Los

Alamos National Laboratory

(LANL), Applied Engineering Technologies Division, Mechanical & Thermal

Engineering Group (AET-1), Los Alamos, NM, May 1996 May 2007.

Provided analysis, design, testing,

and project management to a number of large national science projects:

Evaluated commercial code

for computing residual stresses and distortions in weldments. Used a two-pass

Gas Metal Arc Weld (GMAW) as a case study and compared computed residual

stresses to measurements from X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and the hole drilling

method. Also vetted (a multi-physics research package developed by LANL

with support from the program) for predicting detailed heating and cooling

patterns in Pulsed Laser Welding, accounting for the combined effects of direct

conduction, convection, and surface tension in the weld pool.

Provided design and analysis

capacity to various projects such as Bolas Grandes (containment

vessels), the High Explosive Compaction Press, the Radioisotope

Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) and the Direct Metal Oxidation (DMO) Furnace.

Mentored a Master s student working on DMO.

Brought new funding to my group

for the design of the Advanced

Hydrotest Facility (AHF), a

proton radiography system. Responsible for conceptual design studies of the containment

vessels through FE modeling of unsteady dynamic response to transient explosive

loading.

Conducted structural analyses for

the Pit Manufacturing Program (PMP). Redesigned and prototyped a

radiography film holder.

Engineer for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) program for three years. My responsibilities

included frequency shift studies for the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) and the High Energy Beam Transport

(HEBT) cavities, design of the flow passages to cool all DTL components, system

level calculations for the DTL cooling system, and structural design of stands

for quadrupole magnets. My work with SNS also involved testing: I designed and

conducted laboratory experiments to validate the DTL tank cooling scheme and

its modeling, designed and tested drift tube prototypes to measure pressure

drops for use in system level cooling calculations, and characterized

off-the-shelf pressure fittings that were later used to control the flow in the

DTL cooling lines. The DTL was commissioned in 2004. In my last year in the

project, I was lead engineer for the transition region between the Coupled

Cavity Linac and the Superconducting Cavity Linac. This required direct supervision of work

assignments for two mechanical designers and daily interface with engineers

from other laboratories in the SNS collaboration.

Applied computational fluid

dynamics (CFD) and particle transport modeling to the optimization of the

placement of air quality monitors in nuclear material handling facilities at

Los Alamos.

Provided engineering design for

the Los Alamos National Material Storage Facility (NMSF). Modeled

temperature rises in nuclear material containers in a loss-of-cooling scenario,

using lumped-parameter approximations in SINDA/FLUINT. The effects of

radiative cooling were included.

Project management and thermal

and CFD analyses for the world s largest laser system: the National

Ignition Facility (NIF). Responsible

for thermal analysis of the Final Optics Assemblyusing CFX, a CFD code with radiative heat transfer

capabilities. Analyzed thermally-induced wave front distortion in laser beam

tubes. Presented results at several design reviews and conferences.

Analyzed the closed-loop cooling

system of the Multiplicity Vertex Detector (MVD), the innermost

subsystem of the high-energy particle detector .

Reviewed the design of the ventilation system of the Major Facility Hall

where the PHENIX detector would be located. Simulated three-dimensional flow

and temperature fields surrounding the PHENIX using CFD.

Staff

Research Assistant,, Engineering Sciences & Applications,

Engineering Group, Los Alamos, NM, January 1995 - May 1996.

Performed critical review of a

cryogenic composite probe for detection of magnetic brain waves.

model of an all-composite spacecraft bus using COSMOS/M. Refined the model using

experimental data (static & modal tests). Optimized the spacecraft

structure for reduced mass. FORT was

successfully launched on August 19, 1997.
