Objective
Obtain an engineering position where I can add value to the company by utilizing my knowledge in the fields of design and stress analysis and utilize my skills with software packages like CATIA V6, SOLID WORKS 25, AUTOCAD, COMSOL along with MATLAB and MS Office
Accomplishments
Aerospace
Designed proprietary production equipment related to a carbon fiber process for a major aerospace company that resulted in the company obtaining five patents
CATIA / Solidworks
Designed a robotic hand for use with artificial muscle actuation and synaptic signaling using CATIA V5. Printed the hand in 3D using a STEP file and programmed an algorithm with Matlab to control movement.
Designed a spinal vertebrae force plate using Solidworks and live linked into Comsol to perform finite element analysis for the purpose of enabling higher mobility in human beings after a spinal column vertebrae injury
Performed electrochemical dynamic test to test materials for corrosion through tefal curves. Utilized Solidworks to model the device and live linked into Comsol for multiphysics analysis of fluid flow and eddy currents through the device
