Work
Experience Mechanical Designer - Dorman Products April 2013-June 2013
Reverse engineered automotive aftermarket components using Solidworks
Took measurements using calipers, faro arm, and optical comparator
Consulted with lead engineer to ensure part designs were accurate and dimensioned properly
Ensured timely documentation of finished parts in Excel
Projects Senior Design Project- Design of Spherical Pressure Vessel September 2011-May 2012
Worked with a group of five team members and an advisor on the design, development, and manufacturing
of a spherical pressure vessel using epoxy reinforced carbon fiber layers
Project involved working under budget constraints, ordering supplies, keeping track of expenses, delivering
weekly PowerPoint presentations
Utilized techniques such as vacuum bagging, hydraulic pressure testing, and machining
Research
Experience Temple University- Biomechanics/Neuroengineering Lab May 2015- July 2015
Utilized Matlab to perform data analysis on EMG (Electromyography) recordings of the muscular activity
of cats locomoting on a treadmill
Used mathematical method known as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to decompose matrices and
large sets of data for the purpose of identifying muscle synergies responsible for particular locomotion behaviors in decerebrate cats.
Assisted graduate students, post-docs, and graduate advisor in performing research on cat biomechanics
and neural control of movement
Temple University- School of Podiatry Biomechanics Laboratory June 2015-July 2015
Gathered data for a pilot study to determine foot flexibilities for ten healthy
individuals.
Laboratory experimentation involved shoe flexibility testing and feet flexibility testing of 3 subjects
Worked with Chief Engineer to conduct foot flexibility studies on different subjects using a prototype
torque tester machine
Collected data and performed data analysis in Matlab and Excel
Temple University Virtual Environment Postural Orientation Lab September 2014- December 2014
Assisted with kinematic data collection from Trigno EMG and Vicon Motion Capture systems
Performed post-processing of data in Matlab and Cortex software
Worked with members from various departments
Education Temple University- College of Engineering, Philadelphia, PA September 2013-August 2015
M.S. in Bioengineering, Biomechanics Concentration, GPA: 3.41
Rutgers University- School of Engineering, New Brunswick, NJ January 2013
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
