Education
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Wright State University, Dayton, OH (April 2016)
Senior Design Project (Fall 2015-Spring 2016)
Condition monitoring was performed on a centrifugal pump. The group studied the effect of a faulted impeller within an experimental system. The pump was modeled and CFD simulations were performed to determine the pump behavior with and without faults in the impeller. FEM simulations were performed to ensure that experimental components vibrational frequencies would not be the same as the pump. Mathematical modeling was performed to define the pump performance. Data analysis, using a triaxle accelerometer, was performed on the experimental system and again performed when faults were introduced, to be compared.
Computer Skills
Languages
MATLAB, LabVIEW
Applications
Inventor, AutoCAD, LTSpice, PSpice, EES, Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
Professional Experience
Waupaca Foundry, Tell City, IN 2014, 2015
Engineer Internship
As a full-time Engineering Intern, worked for two summers at the Waupaca Foundry, a ductile and gray iron castings foundry
Performed a variety of tasks and detailed design work for assorted projects, as requested by the engineering group, maintenance group and floor foremen, to improve working conditions and production efficiencies
Independently designed a platform for workers to safely access the holding melt furnace so slag can be removed. This platform design was implemented in Fall of 2015.
Worked with Inventor and AutoCAD on a protective walkway design project
Measured and updated the foundry floor plan using AutoCAD
Assisted with the design of a charge cart rail sweep to keep the cart rails clear of scrap metal that causes the cart to lose connection with the controls
