EDUCATION
Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering March 2013
University of California, Riverside
Technical Electives: Combustion & Energy Systems, Optics and Lasers
Status: US Citizen
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
Research Associate – Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties of Large Graphene Films June 2011-March 2013
Cengiz Ozkan, Ph. D., UC Riverside
Showed that Graphene chemical vapor deposition growth on copper foil using methane as a carbon
source is strongly affected by hydrogen, which appears to serve a dual role: an activator of the surface
bound carbon that is necessary for mono-layer growth and an etching reagent that controls the size and
morphology of the Graphene domains.
Produced Graphene was used in many other technologies such as sensors.
Research Associate – Optical Clearing Agents September 2010-June 2011
Guillermo Aguilar, Ph. D., UC Riverside
Improved the optical clearing potential of skin for diagnostic and therapeutic applications using an
enhanced drug delivery method.
The results showed the method I used was an effective technique in increasing transdermal transfer of
optical clearing agents.
Project Design Leader – Ironman Parts and Services September 2012-March 2013
Cell cleaning of Diesel Particulate Filter, UC Riverside
Lead three engineers for 20 weeks to design and prove the concept of cell cleaning of diesel particulate
develop a cleaning method that is more efficient than the current process and to be able to dispose the
waste in an environmental friendly manner.
Designed all the parts of the fully operating mechanical device that could satisfy the needs.
Managed time allocation of design stages, collaborated with Ironman by email and telecomm, and
assigned specific tasks for three team members to complete weekly
Team Leader –Truss Bridge Competition Spring 2012
Machine Design course, UC Riverside
Designed and constructed a truss bridge, with size, material, and weight constraints
Minimized the amount of compressive stress on bridge elements when loads were applied to the lower
sections of the bridge
Calculated the theoretical failure load to be within 2% of the experimental failure load
Design Team Member – Formula-1 Intercollegiate Competition Winter 2012-March 2013
Society of Automotive Engineers, UC Riverside
Designing the exhaust system for a formula-1 car with plans to compete against other universities
