EDUCATION: UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLE, Huntsville, Alabama

Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering, Conferred Dec 11, 2013.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

• Designed a system to determine static and dynamic coefficient of friction for different surfaces.

Programmed Arduino board in Labview, and wired Arduino to a three channel accelerometer to take

acceleration readings.

• Designed and built wind tunnel for Discovery Middle School and Women in Defense as part of the

2013 Product Realization design team. Used finite element analysis to determine best material for

wind tunnel, and CAD programs to draw wind tunnel models. Fabricated and assembled fan, test

section, and flow straightener in UAH machine shop. Participated as a member of a 5-person team.

• Designed a Ground Source Heat Pump as part of 2013 Design of Thermal Systems project team

member. Calculated heat transfer rates and velocity needed to cool a building during summer weather

using this system. Used these calculations as well as research to determine proper pipe material and

pump for system.

RELEVANT COURSEWORK:

• Knowledgeable in Mechanical Engineering sciences. Coursework in Machine Design, Computer

Aided Engineering, Design of Thermal Systems, Fluid Mechanics, Measurement and Instrumentation,

Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, Heat and Mass

Transfer, Mechanics of Materials, Dynamic Systems Analysis, Thermodynamics, Electrical Circuit

Analysis, Numerical Methods.

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

• Experience with CAD programs, Solidedge, Solidworks, AutoCAD, and Pro-E.

• Proficient with Matlab.

• Experienced with MS Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook).

• Proficient with NX NASTRAN and PATRAN Finite Element Analysis.
