Senior Design Project: Working with Honda Aircraft Company, Greensboro, North Carolia (Jan-Dec 2024)
To explore surface preparation methods to maximize polymer composite bond strength. Internship: Production Engineer at Mativ Group-Scapa Healthcare (BioMed Labs), Dallas,Texas (June-Aug 2024)
Worked on the production/manufacturing line. Monitored and implemented continuous improvement strategies including the lean 5S methodology and six sigma; thus, reducing machine downtime and waste generation.
Lead the collaborative work with engineers, operators, and maintenance team to develop operating work instructions for the machines used on the production floor for training purposes. Worked on process and quality improvement programs.
Took the initiative to translate the downtime reasons for Spanish speaking workers, ensuring the accurate selection of the downtime reasons with the duration-promoting accurate data collection. Internship/Co-Op: Product Development Intern at Franklin International, Columbus, Ohio (Aug 2022-Oct 2023)
Worked in the Industrial Department, manufacturing wood adhesives; assisted senior chemist in polymerizations.
Conducted performance testing of several adhesive formulations (failure analysis) and executed the DOE.
Supported the R&D and production team with physical & chemical testing and analysis, including troubleshooting.
The main testing included D4 boils, D4 soaks, Watt 91 for wood glues and an accelerated aging test (ASTM Procedures). Internship: Engineering Intern at Columbus Industries, Filtration Group, El Paso, Texas (June-Aug 2022)
Worked in the R&D lab to study the technical features of Portable Air Purifier and HVAC Filters with focus on the characterization of media for HEPA & higher MERV (13-16) filters in HVAC applications; this study concluded with a method resulting in a greater cost-effective solution and used for quality control validation.
Operated TSI Automated Filter Tester with distinct aerosols; Followed ISO 16890 test protocol using IPA.
Used AUTOCAD Inventor for air filter frame designing; Learned ASHRE 52.2 testing for the filter’s efficiency. Internship: Engineering Intern at IC3D Printers, Columbus, Ohio (June-Aug 2021)
Worked on various collaborative large scale 3-D printing projects, handled day-to-day printing & maintenance tasks.
Operated the extrusion/injection molding lines for 3D printing filaments using resin materials like PLA, ABS, & PETG. Teaching: Instructor at Mathnasium, Dublin, Ohio (Aug 2019-Aug 2021)
Worked with students of elementary to high school for providing a clear and concise mathematical guidance using the Mathnasium Method; helped solving their homework and improve their logical skills and performance.
