Objective To obtain a full-time position in the field of Material Science and Engineering Education B.S. Materials Science and Engineering

Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan Mid Michigan Community College, Harrison, Michigan May 2, 2015

2008-2011

Research History

McArthur Research Internship, Michigan Technological University

● Assisted in the production of organoclay (nanocomposite) from waste materials to reduce production costs while meeting needs/requirements.

● Conducted extensive literature searches on various types of organoclays for comparison.

Wrote a detailed technical report and gave an oral presentation to the Material Science Department.

2013-2014

Engineering Project Experience

Senior Design Project on Stamping FEA Optimization (sponsored by Chrysler

● Collaborated with a team of four students to define a process to optimize the accuracy of the virtual testing (FEA) by putting in the data from physical testing. Optimizing the FEA will allow for a reduction in weight and increase the efficiency of the vehicle

● Conducted tensile tests, hardness testing, fatigue testing, strain gauge analysis and ordered the necessary equipment.

Wrote a detailed final report and developed final oral presentation. L12 Precipitate Formation in Heat Treated Al-Ag-Zr Ternary Alloys

● Collaborated with a team of four students to define a process to optimize high temperature strength of four different Al-Ag-Zr alloys and characterize results.

● Assisted with charge preparation, deformation processing, hardness testing, and metallographic preparation. Wrote a detailed final report and developed a final oral presentation.
