RELEVANT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Design Engineer – Scaled Composites, Mojave, CA 2014 – 2016

Designed systems and components currently in operation on 4 white sheet, prototype aircraft.

Conceptualized from end to end the fuel system architecture of the Northrop Grumman Model 400. Significant contributions were also made towards the landing gear, hydraulic, and flight control systems.

Simulated and analyzed the performance of each system through all flight envelopes.

Released more than 180 fabrication and assembly drawings detailing the systems and components designed. Included were system schematics, engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and composite fabrication details.

Optimized the cockpit’s fuel system control interface for human factors considerations.

Conducted system safety analyses to refine designs, including Risk Assessment Code, fault tree, and zonal analysis.

Directed the ground testing of the as-built aircraft systems at the component and fully assembled levels.

Research Assistant – Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 2010 – 2013

Conducted research in theoretical and applied microfluidics, focusing on electrokinetic phenomena.

Designed an epifluorescent microscopy system to perform μPIV and μPLIF. This system was used to invent new experimental techniques. Optics selection and the design of custom control circuitry were critical for all projects.

Innovated image processing and computer vision algorithms to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of collected data.

Collaborated with international research fellows to earn a grant from the ONR and to produce 3 publications.

Trained and mentored 7 researchers at the masters, Ph.D., and postdoctoral levels.

Technical Analyst Co-op – United States Government, Chantilly, VA 2009

TS/SCI security clearance with SSBI and polygraph

Undergraduate Scholars Research Program Intern – NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 2008

Developed coding patches to NASA’s Aircraft Noise Prediction Program – Propeller Analysis System.
