OBJECTIVE:
To collaborate and work in an engineering position that will further improve my knowledge and abilities as well as provide some insight and assistance to a new project or company.
EDUCATION:
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Edinburg, TX
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Graduation: December 2016
RELEVANT COURSEWORK:
Manufacturing Processes Fluid Mechanics
Heat Transfer Engineering Ethics
Statics Undergraduate Research: Nanofibers
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:
Secretary/ Member, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) September 2011 - May 2012
Attended club meeting and listened attentively.
Recorded all club meeting notes and provided feedback to the officers, obtaining all new members emails and storing them in the ASME database, and informing the president of upcoming important dates and events.
Mini BAJA Crew Member, Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) November 2011 - February 2012
Worked with team to construct the frame of the Mini Baja car by mapping the design onto wooden boards, and cutting, shaping, and welding pipes in an accurate and organized manner.
Research Assistant, Research Assistant Mechanical Engineering Dept. September 2013- 2017
Development of antimicrobial chitosan based nanofiber dressings for wound healing applications. Submitted to Biopolymers manuscript number BIP-2017-0031
Tasked with searching for a way to produce antibacterial and rejuvenating nanofibers for the purpose to be a more efficient way to treat deep wounds.
Determined the chemical formula for the nanofibers that will produce the desired results and testing the produced nanofibers.
Worked well with a research partner and shared ideas, knowledge, and the workload
Consulted with advisers and supervisors on any progress made and discussed possibilities of furthering research potential.
Compiled and analyzed results into a research paper.
PROJECTS:
Sustainable Engineering Design: Wheelchair Stability August 2016- December 2016
Helped people who were wheelchair bound with moderate strength be more independent. The focus was on stability and the transfer of the individual from wheelchair to bed and vise versa.
Developed a standard wheelchair with hydraulic stands placed on each corner underneath the chair. The height will be controlled with a small electric motor and a sensor to detect max and min height as well as errors. (estimated total cost: $500 - $600)
Senior Design: Rotating Collector for Forcespinning Machine January 2016 - December 2016
Collected nanofibers using a faster method without damaging them while also improving strength and linearity in the form of stretching.
Designed a hollow cylindrical shell with a small motor attached to a rotating mandrel at one side.
Placed design inside the Forcespinning machine where the chemical solution was poured into the spinneret and the nanofibers were produced
Testing was run at different rpms and the nanofibers were tested using XRay Diffraction and SEM imaging
SKILLS:
Language: English and Spanish
Computer: Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, AUTOCad, SolidWorks, MATLAB
Instrumentation: Band saws, Milling machines, Grinders, Wire Welder, Material testing systems and machines and Forcespinning machine
