E D UC A T IO N

Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Cumulative GPA: 3.06/4.0 Major GPA: 3.54/4.0

Graduation: May 2014

L EA D ER SH IP

Governor's School of New Jersey: Engineering and Technology, Mentor 7/2013

Instructed a group of distinguished high school students on a project to observe shock waves caused by supersonic flow.

Introduced students to 3D CAD modeling using SolidWorks and basic hands on assembly to instill a sense of confidence and

competence in using basic hand and machine tools.

Autonomous Bicycle

Inspired by the extremely agile human driving skills for handling and recovering unstabl e vehicle motion in emergencies

such as high-speed obstacle avoidance and skidding on icy roads. The proposed research will result in significant

contributions, both theoretical as we ll as practical, in bio-inspired control of dynamic systems.

5/2013–Present

ANDERS

Funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Automated Nondestructive Evaluation and

Rehabilitation System (ANDERS) is a project aimed at improving bridge maintenance and safety using robots to collect

important data about the structural integrity of concrete bridge decks.

Bio-Robotic Oceanic Sampler

Tasked by Division of Ocean Sciences this project will provide a better understanding of microbial growth, adaptation, and

survival in the oceanic environment.

E X P ER I EN C E

Rutgers University, Student Worker – Robotics, Automation, and Mechatronics Lab 2/2013–Present

Worked with lead investigators to design, develop, test, and assemble mechanical components/equipment for a biological

sampling device. Assisted in resolving a technical issue with lingering water droplets that could potentially cause DNA cross

contamination during the flushing process.

Designed and machined fixtur es for the ANDERS project to resolve issues caused by vibrations acting on a laser . Proposed

solution was a success by dramatically reducing vibrations resulting in an increase in performance and accuracy of the laser.

Utilized computer modeling programs to generate a 3D model of an autonomous bicycle. Applied engineering theory and

principles to conduct analysis of the system to determine total mass, center of mass, and mass moment of inertia.

6/2013–8/2013

NASA New Jersey Space Grant Consortium, Research Fellow

Constructed an electromechanical wind tunnel sting to increase the efficiency, versatility, precision, and reliability of wind

tunnel testing to better understand aerodynamic characteristics of objects at supersonic conditions.

Automated process using NI Measurements and Automation Explorer program. Created a user friendly interface allowing

users to define specific conditions such as velocity, acceleration, direction, and number of steps.

Presented findings and accomplishme nts at the 2013 NJSGC Summer Conference.

Rutgers University, Undergraduate Researcher – Supersonic Wind Tunnel Lab 7/2012–5/2013

Manufactured mechanical components to be placed into a wind tunnel to visualize flow past a wedge and a sphere at over

three times the speed of sound (mach 3.45).

Created a senior level aerospace lab based on my experiments which became implemented into the Mechanical and

Aerospace curriculum beginning Spring 2013.
