Related Work Experience:
Research Assistant- Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, UNCC, Summer '07 to
Present
. Utilized Engineering Design Optimization and Design of Experiments
techniques to inversely identify material parameters from stress-strain
curves
. Designed, developed, and fabricated robotic experiments
. Wrote embedded C code and Labview programs that communicated,
observed, and controlled robots.
. Modeled and applied reduction techniques to nonlinear dynamical and
fluid systems in Matlab, Mathematica, and Comsol Multiphysics,
. Developed and applied techniques based on nonlinear, classical, and
geometric control theory to control robots
. Contributed to journal and conference papers presented at SIAM and
ASME conferences on dynamics and control.
Teaching Assistant - Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, UNCC, Fall '09 to
Present
. Lead undergraduates through laboratory experiments, trained students in
electronics equipment, in the computer program 'Labview', and in data
acquisition.
Associate Quality Control Engineering Intern - Werner Synthetics Plastic
Manufacturer, Spring '06 - Fall '06:
Accomplishments:
. Analyzed output of manufacturing process, and made suggestions to
machine settings. The owner routinely implemented these suggestions,
and improved quality.
. Implemented a statistical study to determine the effectiveness of a
new digital measurement tool, which revealed that the factory workers
were using the tool incorrectly. This led to new training that
increased quality.
. Introduced a new statistics computer program to the factory, which
made analysis of data easier than using the previous Excel program.
