GRADUATE RESEARCH January 1992 - Clemson University Department of Chemical Engineering Clemson, SC December 1994 Optimized processing parameters of a continuous powder coating technique for

the fabrication of a flexible prepreg for use in manufacturing multidimensional thick section carbon/carbon composites. Designed mold tools and atmospheric retorts for composite consolidation, oxidation, and carbonization. Fabricated carbon/carbon composites using the flexible prepreg with a pitch-based matrix precursor and several types of carbon fibers: PAN-based, pitch-based round, and pitch-based ribbon. Developed a FORTRAN code which predicts the thermal properties of a composite material using the Finite Element Method and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. This graphic program accounts for random porosity and the anisotropic nature of fibers and matrix. Compared the results of this program to the measured thermal properties of composites made from the three different carbon fibers.

August 1990 - Clemson University Department of Chemical Engineering Clemson, SC December 1991 Designed an air comb for spreading a fiber tow with reduced fiber breakage.

Improved an existing process for continuous thermoplastic powder coating of carbon fibers to form weavable composite prepregs. Modified this process to use pitch for the fabrication of a flexible prepreg for the formation of carbon/carbon composites. Evaluated wetting characteristics of the pitch on the carbon fiber by numerical solution to determine the optimum residence time of the coated tow in the furnace. Evaluated mechanical properties such as composite flexural strength and flexural modulus.

CO-OP EXPERIENCE Summers 1987-90 Florida Power & Light Martin Plant, Indiantown, FL Process Engineer Used the EPRI computer program "CHEC" to create a model for erosion/corrosion

assessment of the feedwater and condensate systems on a twin oil-gas 800 megawatt power plant. Used the model to predict the time before the minimum wall thickness of the piping is reached, preventing catastrophic failure of the systems. Developed an algorithm to more accurately predict the steam flow into

the boiler and the high pressure turbine in order to meet federal regulations during peak loads.

Organized and prepared graphic presentations for engineering projects. Prepared

presentations for the Deming Award Audits. Participated in instituting Deming procedures at Florida Power & Light Martin Plant. Trouble-shooted feedwater heaters and installed vibrational analysis equipment and computer controlled lab equipment.
