ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Mechanical Engineering Intern June 2013 - August 2013

Exelis Geospatial Systems, Structures Division - Rochester, New York

Designed a test fixture and test plan to analyze torque retention in bolted joints that are exposed to extreme thermal cycling

intended to simulate geo-orbital conditions. Utilized Patran, Nastran, and Sigmax so ware to analyze and remedy stress issues

in load bearing carbon composite panels that are a part of a geo-orbital telescope design. Designed and created drawings

and models for composite panel coupon layouts using Creo/Pro-Engineer so ware.

Mechanical Engineering Co-op November 2012 – February 2013

Delphi Automotive, Canisters and Evaporative Emissions - Rochester, New York

Developed and supervised testing procedures to facilitate increased performance and cost e ectiveness of automobile fuel

system emissions control canisters. Utilized Microso Excel to analyze test data to identify trends in performance.

Performed vapor adsorption testing on activated carbon in accordance with ASTM guidelines. Assisted with emissions control

canister production duties.

Mechanical Engineering Co-op November 2011 – May 2012

Environment One Corporation, Utility Systems Business - Schenectady, New York

Lead designer on several custom product projects. Entailed being responsible for changes to the design of the product as well

as being the primary internal contact point for the project. Designed, engineered and built a test fixture for hydrogen particle

collectors using on-hand parts and fabrication techniques. Created mechanical/electrical drawings and corresponding

engineering change notices. Utilized a Microso Access database program to release a backlog of engineering change notices

and update part and assembly database information. Collected data for hydrogen blower characterization.

RELEVANT COURSEWORK & PROJECTS

Multidisciplinary Senior Design I and II:

My assigned team was tasked with the redesign of a portable emergency ventilator (PEV) for first responder usage. We were given

a limited budget to complete this task. The team consisted of 2 electrical engineers, and 3 other mechanical engineers. My role

was the design and manufacturing engineer of the enclosure in which all of the electrical and pneumatic components would be

held. Related tasks included selecting components and equipment based on the analysis of specifications; thermal and vibration

analysis; ensuring that designs were cost e icient, manufacturable and reliable; prototyping; functional testing; and production

logistics. The fully functioning prototype that will be delivered as the final product will be utilized by a real world customer with

intent for retail production.

Digital Micro-Fluidics Research (current independent study):

Assisting a new professor in setting up his research laboratory. Responsible for the submission of periodic reports on assigned

topics. To date, I have learned basic principles and physics of digital microfluidics and the appropriate micro-fabrication

techniques to create a test device. I will be educated on cleanroom procedures, and gain fabrication experience in a class

1000/class 6 ISO cleanroom environment. I will also be assisting in the design and fabrication of an appropriate laboratory

electronic control system.

Air Muscle Research (current independent study):

Working with a faculty advisor, I led the development of a test plan to compare the physical capabilities of on-hand air muscle

technologies to current theoretical models that predict typical air muscle behavior. I designed and constructed a custom test

fixture using machine tools. I will perform the procedure I have outlined and collect data. A er experimentation, an investigation

will occur into the nature of any suspected inaccuracies in accepted theoretical models.
