Experience:
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
Research Project funded by Pratt and Whitney for NAVAIR
November 2007 – April 2009
Materials Science and Engineering department, Undergraduate research assistant
I conducted research on Mo3SiB powder for use in jet engine parts. The research concentrated on powder processing techniques. These techniques included: powder spray drying, attrition and ball milling, Scanning electron microscopy, BET surface area analysis, and furnace reduction of ceramic powders. I also assisted in several other projects dealing with powder processing of other materials.
Research Project for Northrop Grumman
August 2008 – May 2009
Materials Science and Engineering department, Senior Project
I conducted research on a variety of polymer adhesive compounds. We developed test and characterization methods for several different polymer adhesives provided to us by Northrop Grumman. These adhesives were being used for both structural applications and some for vibration dampening to protect electronic equipment in rockets.
Hubbell Power Systems, Leeds, AL
January 2010 – Present
Quality Assurance department, Metallurgical test technician
I prepared and analyzed the chemistry and microstructure of ductile iron, brass, bronze, and aluminum samples. I conducted optical microscopy on the prepared samples. I also tested the samples with emission spectroscopy. To determine the strength of heat treated aluminum samples I conducted tensile tests on prepared specimens.
