Bachelor of Science at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY May 2013
Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering (Double Major) GPA: 3.35; Major GPA 3.375 Dean’s List 5 of 8 semesters.
Engineering Experience
Undergraduate Research Assistant for Mechanical Engineering Dept, Clarkson University 2012-present
• Worked on exploring the banding of suspended particles when they were in a rotating fluid inside a cylinder.
• Recreated past experiments to validate their results, than worked to improve the process to find additional information.
• Created a device that would rotate the fluid inside the cylinder, then worked directly with Clarkson’s machine shop to have it built.
• Observed banding phenomena in a lab environment, although additional testing is needed to validate results.
• Also set up experiments that would recreate a known mathematical model of a ball dropping into a liquid to prove or disprove previous findings.
• Designed the experiment around finding the Reynolds, Peclet, Capillary and Bond number.
• Recorded a “bubble” moving along the surface of the ball after impact that showed physical evidence in favor of the current mathematical model of a flow around a sphere in a fluid.
Aircraft Structural Analysis, Clarkson University Fall 2011
• Analysis of Boeing 737-300 for non-published loadings and characteristics of wing structure.
• Based analysis on information online. Made suitable approximations where information was unavailable.
• Used Matlab and Auto Cad to analyze wing loading on the 737 and provide a complete summary of its flight ranges.
• Determined that even heavy approximations predict stress on structures within certain degrees of accuracy.
• Documented the numerical and analytical results of the analysis in a 15-page technical memo.
Labview Flow Control Experiment Spring 2012
• Created a Labview program to measure the velocity of air flow through a pipe and control the power supply to manipulate the flow to match a user input.
• Used pressure sensors to measure the speed of the flow; used that as input, and developed an output that measured difference between the actual air velocity and the desired air velocity.
• Calculated appropriate error and delay function based on testing the actual system under a variety of situations to overcome possible sensor error.
Ansys Based Finite Element Analysis of a Beam Spring 2012
• Using Ansys workbench, determined the structural loads for a beam in comparison to hand calculations.
• Modeled the geometry and physical characteristics in Ansys and us...
