Employment History
June 2014 - August 2014 ORNL Internship Knoxville, TN
Developed an optimization algorithm for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), an additive manufacturing method.
Developed an algorithm which maximized the tensile, flexural, and impact strength of FDM
Researched the intra-build effects on mechanical properties of EBM (Electron Beam Melting)
Tested the specific effects of part size, energy output, orientation, distance, and location on mechanical properties of Titanium. Specifically Ti-64, and ultimately how to optimize the quality of our builds.
Operated machinery used to test specimens used for research
Which includes the Saw, Polisher, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), Archam S12
July 2015 - August 2015 ORNL Research Knoxville, TN
Analyzing porosity for SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)
Used BEI images to threshold the black areas and calculate the surface and porosity (void space) of SEM images.
Archam testing on mechanical and microstructure properties of inconel
Took part in testing using uniform laser distribution the effects of porosity and defect formation during the electron beam melting process.
July 2013 - January 2014 Undergraduate Research Knoxville, TN
Researched solutions for excess Amplified Spontaneous Emission in a dye laser
In order to reduce the Amplified Spontaneous Emission, we chose to redesign the gratings due to the fact that the current grating only narrowly filtered the beam.
Wrote a Laser Range Simulator program in MATLAB
The purpose of the program was to detect a virtual object.
The goal was to find the location of the object in the virtual room.
Technical Projects/Activities
January 2014 Subsonic Wind tunnel testing
Used a subsonic wind tunnel to measure the lift, drag, and other parameters of a golf ball, model airplane and sphere
The objective of the project was to find the correlation of the parameters with the angle of attack of the airplane. In addition to comparing and contrasting the difference between the parameters of the golf ball and sphere.
September 2013 Senior Design Project
Designed an electric model airplane to meet design constraints on the current draw of the engine, weight of the airplane, and take off distance.
The initial goal was to be able to take off from a 40 field made of corrugated panels with 3.5 high obstacles while carrying a surplus of a one pound 6x6x6 block and fly 12,000 feet with 50% battery remaining. The secondary goal was to be able to produce the same performance with a one pound 2x9x4 and 4x4x6 block.
Designed a system which took a payload 100,000 feet in the air via weather balloon then paraglide with both manual and antonymous control to a designated location.
Coded the Arduino board for the system which was in control of the measurement of instrumentation.
Extracurricular Activities / Community Service
Sept 2009 - August 2010 National Society of Black Engineers
UTK Chapter Telecommunications Chair.
Developed and managed chapter website.
Managed Electronic communication within the chapter.
Collaborated with members to raise money to attend engineering conferences.
February 2011 GMR Marketing
Informed cliental about the Nissan Leaf, the first 100% electric powered car
Responsible for recharging and constantly monitoring the state of charge on each Nissan Leaf.
