Experience

Undergraduate Research Assistant, August 2010 – December 2011

University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee WI

Assisted in research activities for high-performance cement based composites, application of nano-materials in construction, and waste utilization.

Performed analysis with provided procedures for new sustainable cement technology that minimizes the environmental damage caused by cement production.

Using various mixing procedures, prepared different concrete mixes to increase the development of early-aged strength, improve tensile/flexural strength without any extra Portland cement content. A new method was proposed for engineering of nano-cement based on the introduction of super-fine, submicro and/or nano-sized cement in blended binders.

Through super-fine grinding of the mentioned materials, developed a novel strategy that significantly enhances the surface area and improves the pozzolanic potential and reaction ability of mineral additives.

Conducted compression testing for the molded cube particles of concrete for 1, 7 and 28 days and maintained good test records.

Engineering Co-op August 2008 – December 2008; May 2009 – August 2009

City of Waukesha, Waukesha WI

Conducted field location & topographic(topo) surveys with Total Station Surveying equipment.

Inspected sewer projects to ensure construction followed the approved plans.

Assisted city engineers with public work and municipal projects.

Key Projects in Waukesha, WI included:

o West Avenue - Field location and topo survey to review existing conditions for proposed Walmart project.

o Grand Avenue - Field location, topo survey, and cross-section for proposed reconstruction.

o Chicago Avenue - Field location, topo survey, and cross-section for proposed reconstruction.

o Mountain Avenue - Field location, topo survey, and cross-section for proposed reconstruction.

o Westowne - Inspection of the surface course of the asphalt resurfacing of pavement of several streets in the Westowne area.
