Education
Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering May 2016
GPA: 3.95/4.00
Engineering Experience
University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY (June – August 2015)
Modeled and simulated idealized human Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms using ANSYS Mechanical. Simulations performed
under static and transient structural regimes. Linear and nonlinear material models used. Modeling done using SolidWorks.
Data post-processing done in Matlab and Tecplot.
Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY (June – December 2014)
Designed and operated Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) setup to characterize fluid flow through an idealized human lung.
Data obtained used to validate Fort Detrick’s Computational Fluid Dynamics model. Data processing and acquisition done
through Matlab and Labview. High speed camera and class 4 pulse laser were used for PIV.
TATA Steel Thailand – Siam Construction Steel Co., Ltd., Rayong, Thailand (September – November 2013)
Improved production delay recording system. Helped streamline data entry process. Designed metallic dust collection
apparatus to reduce dangerous airborne particulates.
Senior Design Project
Project goal to design and create a fully air driven inflatable robotic hand that will be mounted on an RC vehicle. Robotic hand
would be remotely controlled and capable of fully inflating out, grabbing and repositioning an object, and deflating back into
the container. Multidisciplinary team of three mechanical engineers, an electrical engineer, and a biomedical engineer.
Robotics Project
Designed and tested an autonomous quadcopter utilizing an Arduino Uno control board
