RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
•
Supply Chain Co-op, Hamilton Sundstrand/UTC Aerospace Systems January 2012-August 2012
• Shared responsibilities with a full-time buyer for the Plastics/Shims account (quoting, buying, maintaining
existing purchase orders, invoice approvals, data-mining)
• Monitored the performance metrics of 15 suppliers in the Distributed Products commodity and maintained
good supplier-customer relationships
• Collaborated with the contracts team in order to extend several Long Term Agreements with existing
suppliers, and engaged in negotiations with a supplier which resulted in significant cost savings for the
Boeing 787 Program
• Contributed to the design of a new learning module, including competency matrices and job descriptions
• Assisted in the kickoff of a new Delivery Assurance Program pilot
• Represented the procurement team in a metal-to-plastic conversion initiative
• Followed export and compliance regulations as well as ACE (Achieving Competitive Excellence)
• Participated in a design review for a new ignition system for Pratt & Whitney
Formula SAE (Rensselaer Motorsport), RPI Fall 2011-Present
• Collaborated with other students in order to design, manufacture, and tune a formula racecar
• Responsible for the design and testing of an aerodynamics kit, leading materials research and production
• Focused on the analysis of possible benefits of active aerodynamics in the front and rear of the car, driving to
optimize down force and drag during cornering and breaking maneuvers
• Carried out Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations on the various iterations of the vehicle
• Worked on setting up a precedent for the goals and various processes to be followed by future aerodynamics
teams at Rensselaer Motorsport
Flight Mechanics, RPI Fall 2012
• Starting with just a basic picture and readily available information on the web, estimated the stability
characteristics of a Boeing 747-400ER as well as the size of various control surfaces required in order to
maintain safe flight characteristics
• Used numerical methods with given engine and aerodynamic characteristics in order to model the flight of a
Boeing 747-400ER from take-off to landing
o Included distance, velocity, acceleration, altitude, angle of attack, and rate of climb as a function of
time, as well as calculated the optimum velocity as a function of altitude to maximize the possible
range or minimize fuel consumption
Propulsion Systems, RPI Fall 2012
• Analyzed the characteristics of various engine types given basic parameters
o Included turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, rockets, and variations of each
Strength of Materials, RPI Fall 2010
• Analyzed the stress, strain, and bending due to given loads in various engineering scenarios
Introduction to Engineering Design Spring 2011
• Learned about the design process and worked with a multidisciplinary team in order to design and
manufacture a working bicycle iPod/phone charger
Design/Build/Fly, RPI Fall 2010-2011
• Collaborated with other students to design working radio controlled model aircraft
Strength of Materials, RPI Fall 2010
• Analyzed the stress, strain, and bending due to given loads in various engineering scenarios
Fundamentals of Flight, RPI Spring 2010
• Learned and successfully applied the fundamental principles of aerodynamics
• Presented the class with a comparison between helicopter and humming bird flight, as well as the concept of
the wing-tip vortex
