EXPERIENCE
Boiler Design Engineer – Babcock Power Inc. (May 2012 – Present)
• Development of standards for heat transfer modeling, flue gas draft losses, and furnace performance curves
• Heat transfer modeling based on PTC 4.1 to determine boiler performance parameters
• Calculation of furnace exit gas temperature and water wall circulation ratio for boilers firing a variety of fuels
• Analysis of fan/pump capacities based on performance curves for auxiliary equipment used at power plants
• Evaluation of PI/DCS data provided by power plants for boiler optimization and acceptance testing
Hydrodynamic Engineer – Resolute Marine Energy (Jan – Apr 2012)
• Design structural framework for support of a 3D power take-off device after accounting for stacked tolerances
• Develop Matlab code for processing significant wave heights and corresponding peak energy periods
Technology Intern – ibLogix, Inc. (Jun – Jul 2011)
• Performed benchmarking of energy usage density (in kWh/ft^2) for school and office buildings
• Hourly electrical load data for 1 yr. (105,120 sub-metered readings) consolidated into a 365x24 annual kWh matrix
QE Intern/Coop – Depuy Orthopedics (Johnson & Johnson) (May-Dec ‘08) and (Jun-Aug ’09)
• Assisted in creation of Non-Conformance Requests (NCR’s) to document process deviation
• Created Engineering Change Orders (ECO’s) to document process improvements in manufacturing
Production Intern – Toyota Motor Corporation (Jun – Jul 2007)
• Compiled report on standardization gap analysis of production line
• Identified causes of defects (fuel gage level, surface roughness of paint, fuel-air mixture consistency in engine)
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• Passed fundamentals of engineering exam administered by NCEES April 2012
• Attended short course on fireside performance optimization with coal-fired boilers at Lehigh University
• Completed annual coursework in steam power, co-generation, heat rate optimization, and emissions management
PROJECTS
MS Thesis – Stability design and analysis for offshore wind turbines (Jun 2010 – May 2012)
• Designed fixtures to allow gross ( 1”) and fine ( 1/8”) adjustment of cable length for TLP wind turbine
• Created ledge with O-ring channels for wind turbine base to allow waterproofing of interior circuitry
• Created Lab VIEW VI with 13 data points at 4 S/s to collect data from load cells, inclinometer, and accelerometer
•
Redesign of a soft-top convertible mechanism to allow vertical storage (Aug-Oct 2010)
• Focused design on need for vertical storage in convertibles to increase trunk space
• Designed linkage with 4 precision points, fixed ground pivots, and overall extensive reach from retracted position
• Prototype developed based on final design that was successful in achieving vertical storage
Design of torsion spring for Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) (Jan – Dec 2010)
• Designed system to withstand torque ( 70 Nm) generated by vehicular flywheel and buffer it during gear shifts
• Completed detailed design and drawings in SolidWorks, parts manufactured using Esprit and Minimills
• Solved design challenges, such as machining a hole with +.0011/-0.0000 tolerance for precision ball bearings
