Objective: Looking for an excellent opportunity to work with my skill set
and background as well as the opportunity to grow in my profession.
Education:
Clemson University, Clemson SC, Masters in Mechanical Engineering
(December, 2009) GPA 3.2
Activities: Tae Kwon Do club - Member
Thesis: Thermoelastic Response of a Small Bearing Cage
Clemson University, Clemson SC, Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering
(December, 2004)
Activities: Tae Kwon Do club - Member
Relevant Experience:
Clemson University-Graduate Research Assistant, Clemson University, SC- Jan
2008-Dec 2009
Funded Research Projects:
Toyota:
Designed and implemented traditional and cost cutting non-destructive
testing setups using pulsed thermography, produced detailed results,
interfaced with programmer to implement image enhancement schemes across
various types of surfaces and conditions. Gave monthly presentations of
project works in progress
Examined current non-destructive testing methodologies and current research
trends surrounding the examination of PCB's; Lock-in, pulsed, SSM
microscopy, coordinated testing schedule layout with multiple engineers to
cut down testing time.
Timken:
Worked with outside engineers in implementing thermoelasticity techniques
to detect stresses in various parts, produced stress patterns by thermal
emission across entire regions of interest for analysis via post processing
in matlab by exporting thermal maps from Rtools, established experimental
setups for optimal; fields of view, frame rates and resolution, assisted in
troubleshooting areas of uncertainty within compared simulation and results
from thermoelasticity, researched outside source methods for comparison and
implementation.
Plastic Omnium:
Researched previous setups, found and recommended necessary equipment for
purchase for a laser stripe 3D profiling mechanism for the 3d mapping of a
plastic fender, researched design and implementation of current setups,
determined necessary measures for increased sensitivity and robustness in
setups, determined necessary sensitivity in order to find optical defects
of a minimum size, Programmed baseline depth detection program to interpret
video file captures of fender using laser triangulation method, handed off
programming and previous research to programmer and new group member,
assisted in program troubleshooting with introduction of measured sample
defects and implementation with programmer.
EPRI(Electric Power Research Institute):
Examined and tested thick walled steam pipes using non destructive testing
methods. Cycled though available methods for the non destructive testing
methods of piping, supervised other engineers in research and testing and
compiled reports with results pertaining to methods used. Outlined
alternative methods / testing samples to give more accurate results
Skills:
Familiar with Non-Destructive Testing methods and principles, Laboratory
documentation and setups, Infrared camera operation history and current
technology, Optics, Focal Point Arrays, Baseline programming
Software:
