Professional Experience
Materials FEA Research Assistant
Purdue University
As a member of the Koslowski research group, I am utilizing multi-physics based finite element models to analyze the effects of microstructure variability on plasticity and fracture within energetic materials. One area of focus is analyzing high stress regions and resulting formation of thermal hotspots for materials subjected to shock-based loading.

Design Engineering Intern
Woodridge, IL
During my time at Hendrickson, I assumed primary project ownership of a suspension redesign project aimed at increasing dynamic component ground clearance. This lead to significant growth in my design packaging skills, utilizing Siemens NX to develop a full system model. Additionally, I collaborated with the Elastomer R&D department to develop preliminary bushing designs in alignment with ride performance, spatial, and material constraints.

Engineering Intern
Toronto, Canada
As a summer intern I wore multiple hats, gaining exposure to a wide range of company operations. I contributed to numerous automation projects based around C# and Python scripts, including identifying and developing a documentation generation program that saved sales associates over 100 hours. I also called downstream distributors to pitch new products and worked with R&D to analyze acoustical data, calibrating performance for current products.
