Work History: Academic Counselor Aug '11 - Present CMU Academic Development Pittsburgh, PA • Teach students general study/time management habits for academic success in group workshops. • Adapt general information to the needs of specific students in one-on-one sessions.
DFX Intern May. '14 - Aug. '14 Microsoft Corporation Seattle, WA • Reported on efficacy of outsourced tablet screen debonder for production implementation. • Created DOE and oversaw testing of screw boss geometry testing. Also created preliminary screw geometry selection tool for engineers based on test data.
Research Intern May. '13 - Aug. '13 Bose Corporation Framingham, MA • Created and solved models of production transducers analytically and with MATLAB. • Determined causes of discrepancies between analytical/model outputs and experimental data.
Research Intern Jun. '12 - Aug. '12 Summer at the Edge (SATE), Wright State University/AFRL Dayton, OH • Designed and constructed a mortar-fireable quad-rotor in a team setting using SolidWorks and 3D printing technologies.
Course Projects: Biomechatronics, Knee Exoskeleton Fall '13 • In group of 6, designing and fabricating a knee exoskeleton to assist in human walking. • Working with end goal of journal-publishable paper.
Design I, Project 2 - 1st of ~25 groups Spring '13 • In group of 5, designed a mass-optimized robotic gripper to handle dynamic loading scenarios. • Required significant stress analysis and SolidWorks FEA experience.
