Projects:

Building HVAC Setback Project (May 2009)

. Analyzed a building's 24hr period temperature and air flow data sets

to determine whether a recently implemented HVAC setback system

functioned as programmed

. Discovered room for system improvement during unoccupied building

hours

. Established that the annual setback savings exceeded $10,000

Senior Design Project: Rooftop Video Camera Image Improvement (May 2009)

. Designed a working prototype of a stabilizing mount system for a

rooftop camera to improve image quality by dampening out vibrations

. As the team leader, coordinated the support of sponsors,

electricians, and machinists while providing input on team members

progress, meeting deadlines, and maintaining budget

. Collected and analyzed accelerometer data using LabView software to

characterize the existing system

. Collaborated on designs based on this data subject to budgetary and

geometric constraints

. Developed mathematical models for the system that included the

effects of air flow under the assumed worst-case wind loading

conditions

Work Experience:

Energy Analyst, Energy Logic, Inc (March 2010 - August 2010)

Dennisport, MA

. Assisted Fortune 500 clients in cutting costs and improving their

demand side energy management by applying for energy efficient

equipment rebates

. Quantified rebate amount by calculating lighting power densities,

efficiency ratios, and analyzed construction drawings against

eligibility criteria

. Resolved technical issues between clients and electric utility back

offices

Intern, Teleflex Medical Company (June 2008 - October 2008)

Everett, MA

. Developed new, user-friendly instructions for assembling intra-aortic

balloon catheters

. Designed process flow charts to enhance the clarity of work

instruction manuals with input from process engineers

. Ensured accuracy of the instruction manuals prior to an FDA audit by

working in catheter assembly clean room
