Recurring Engineer I, SEAKR Engineering Inc. (June 2020 – Present)

• Played a direct role in testing a high value satellite data recorder in thermal, vacuum, and vibration environments.

• Ran test scripts on flight hardware in preparation for final delivery.

• Moved, installed, and evaluated flight hardware per quality protocols.

• Created a test procedure currently in use for the characterization of setup and hold time margin for LVDS signaling.

• Collaborated with design engineers to document worst case analysis results for the program customer.

• Documented failures in non-conformance reports and analyzed test logs for troubleshooting. Engineering Senior Design Project (Fall 2019 – May 2020)

• Led a team of three senior EE students to design a low-cost pulse induction metal detector system for security applications.

• Used ANSYS Maxwell to design and simulate electromagnetic detector coils.

• Completed BOM and report documentation during development. National Renewable Energy Laboratory SULI Internship (June-August 2019):

• Designed a 500 1 mA current sink to increase the precision of an outdoor photovoltaic soiling sensor enduring extremes in temperature. Created schematic drawings.

• Conversed in technical reviews with a mentor through the life cycle of the design.

• Programmed and used automated test scripts interfacing with a multimeter via a RS-232 interface. Lithium battery research technician (Spring 2017 to Fall 2019):

• Focused on electrolyte optimization of lithium-sulfur batteries for higher capacity, safety, and longevity.

• Investigated semisolid electrolyte as a deterrent to dendritic growth and polysulfide shuttle effects. Cube satellite structural design (Fall 2016):

• Simulated (FEA) and modified the structural frame of a 1U (10 cm cubed) micro-satellite using SolidWorks.

• Aided the development of the first satellite to be constructed in Arkansas as a means to make space accessible for general research. Worked as part of a larger team. Voltage boost regulator (Fall 2016):

• Designed a switching voltage boost converter based on a coil inductor and MOSFET PWM control.

• Programmed an Attiny85 microcontroller with an Arduino via an ICSP header.

• Designed and fabricated a printed circuit board using Ferric Chloride etching. PUBLICATIONS

• The Role of Solid Electrolyte Interphase Layer in Preventing Li Dendrite Growth in Solid-State Batteries
