• Certificate of Achievement in Business Management Simulation (Fall 2014)- Shoreline CC

• First place in Bridge Competition - Certificate of Achievement – (Spring 2015)- NSPE Erie CC RESEARCH:

• Pacemakers: Researching innovative ways to provide endless energy to be used in medical heart devices to eliminate need for battery replacement. Utilizing vibrations that occur from body kinematics. Present

• Deformation induced pattern transformation analysis in a soft granular crystal. Reported the results of an experimental and numerical investigation onto a novel pattern transformation induced in a regular array of particles with contrasting dimensions and softness. The results indicate new directions for the creation of soft solids with acoustic and optical properties. 2017

• Super Van Engine Cooling System: Designed, developed, and tested a van heating system and engine using ANSYS, and AutoCAD drawings to perform simulation analysis. The task was to lower the temperature from an overheated state to a working condition, using different speeds from 10m/s to 25m/s to get a temperature of around 195 Fahrenheit. 2016 Projects:

• Solar Garbage Can Incinerator: Design a garbage can that operate using solar energy to burn waste material and keep the environment clean with minimal costs. 2017

• Analysis of Wood Splitting Apparatus: using regular shear and stress methods to study a wood splitting machine to determine the failure point for all the component at the maximum load possible with the location for that load using factor of safety with failure theories. 2017

• Analysis of Wood Splitting Machine: Using Finite Element analysis by developing a stiffens for all the elements of the machine to determine the failure point 2017

• Design Power Plant: Developed a set of operating parameters that meet a specific requirement, such as overall efficiency, steam efficiency at the same time and power production using a combination of suitable pump and steam turbine. 2016

WORK EXPERIENCE:

• Research Assistant at “Intelligent Dynamic Energy and Sensing Systems” lab. 2016- Present ACTIVITIES:

• National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) chapter (2015-2016): Participated in meetings and took part in club activities such as “Rocket Day” and “Bridge Design”

• Active member, American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
