Experience: MQP Senior Major Qualifying Project (three-course equivalent) August 2014-May 2015Fishing Rod Guide Placement, two-person team WPI, Worcester,
MA “Fishing rods are constructed of carbon fiber materials to precise dimensions. Mechanically it is equivalent to a tapered beam with a major and minor stiffness orientation. Guides are placed along the rod to transfer the line tension to the rod. The placement of the guides influences the deflected shape and stresses in the rod when landing a fish. The challenge is to develop criteria for optimum placement of the guides to minimize the stress in the rod for a given magnitude of tension and orientation of the rod handle relative to the direction of the line to the fish. The analysis requires the use of large deflection theory and calculations are to be confirmed experimentally using strain gages attached to the rod.”
IQP Junior Interactive Qualifying Project (three-course equivalent) August 2013-October 2013Waste Water Energy Recovery, three-person team DOER, Boston, MA
“The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources is evaluating waste water energy recovery as a potential source of renewable energy. The purpose of this project is to enable the DOER to implement WWER technology in Massachusetts. We interviewed representatives that either had experience with WWER or could benefit from its installation. We developed criteria for the evaluation of potential installation sites. We also devised a process for the selection, installation, and operation of a WWER system at a site in Massachusetts.”

Supported the multi-million-dollar integration effort of the new Light Weight Tow (LWT) torpedo defense system on the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) by collaborating with the shipbuilder, missions package control, and NUWC engineers.
Designed test-rig for future at-sea testing of the LWT system towed-body by examining previous test-rigs, evaluating potential materials, and creating a database of information for future users.
Assisted the effort towards obsolescence elimination on the NIXIE torpedo defense systems out in the Fleet, by writing trouble reports, composing and editing testing protocol documents to meet MIL Specs, and updating technical drawings in their appropriate databases.
Preferred Mechanical Services, Pembroke, MA May 2014- August 2014
Intern Witnessed and assisted the $1million project to replace Cold-Floor System at Brown
University Ice Arena from the design phase to ice-building. Completed Submittals, Purchase Orders, and Change Order Requests in addition to
compiling the Standard Operating Procedure / Operation and Maintenance Manuals per Brown University Standards ensuring owner and operators will get the most out of the system as designed.
Attended job-site visits to confirm all work was within set standards, kept records of items not meeting these standards, and proposed solutions that would be least costly to both parties. Saved an estimated $10,000 by catching a welding issue that did not meet standards.
