Experience
Laser Spectroscopy Combustion Chamber West Lafayette, IN
Team Lead January 2016-Present
 Designed and constructed a combustion chamber to be used for laser spectroscopy flame
characterization research
 Implemented organizational strategies and tools to manage CAD assemblies and track parts through
their fabrication lifecycle
 Constructed a closed loop control system to control equivalency ratio and flame shape
 Automated the removal an air fuel mixer inserter to decrease the time between testing runs
 Utilized heat shielding material to allow the use of 3D printing to fabricate complicated
components in the fuel supply assembly
Hyperloop Design Competition West Lafayette, IN
Compressor/Levitation Team Lead August 2015-present
 Designed a complete air bearing system capable of levitating a 250 kg pod at high speeds over the
length of a half mile track
 Developed a testing procedure to document the power to lift ratio of a prototype magnetic lifting
device
 Fabricated components for a magnetic attitude control system prototype
 Utilized power cycle modeling software to design a regeneration loop to be used in conjunction with a
proposed compressor system
 Determined payload capacity of pod system by developing a Matlab model to estimate air bearing
mass flow rate for various pod masses
Depuy Synthes Orthopedics Warsaw, IN
Hips R&D co-op January 2014-August 2015
 Utilized various modeling and analysis software packages to characterize properties of the implant
cavity prepared in a femur, and subsequently wrote and submitted an abstract to the Orthopedic
Research Society
 Developed and executed a testing plan to determine biological compatibility of a new hip prostheses
and subsequently wrote and submitted a formal report to the FDA for approval
 Designed and fabricated prototypes of three variations of a variable angle screw driver designed to fix
screws in the acetabulum
 Created a Matlab program that processed raw statistical bone data, and then generated various visual
representations of the results that could be uploaded into Unigraphics to create graphics for use in
design meetings
 Completed various development stage validation activities to expedite the release of a revised femoral
reamer
NERD TV San Diego, CA
