OTHER PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Volt Technical Resources, Caterpillar Inc. Cooling System Analyst Jul. 2004 – Mar. 2006
GE Energy Intern Jan. 2004 – Jun. 2004
ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL August 2001 – December 2003
Teaching Assistant
 Assisted Professor in teaching classes in IC Engines, Compressible Fluid Flows and Thermal Measurements Lab.
 Managed setup and conducted thermal measurement experiments.
 Assisted students and graded the senior students.
Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL August 2002 – August 2005
Thesis: Experimental Investigation of the Electrostatic and Catalytic Reduction of Diesel Soot
 Thesis focused on the design and implementation of an Electrostatic Precipitator and a Catalytic Filter for the control of
particulate matter emitted by diesel engines.
 The goal was to reduce the particulate matter without affecting the engine efficiency.
 A continuous DC voltage charges the precipitator and an electric heater triggers the catalytic reaction in the filter.
