OBJECTIVE
To obtain an engineering position that will utilize my
engineering skills, with a particular interest in composite materials and finite element
analysis.
EDUCATION
University of Massachusetts, Lowell
Lowell, MA
- Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering, June 1999
Thesis: "Characterizing the Performance of
Baseball Bats"
- Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering, June 1996
RELATED EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant, Craig D. Douglas
Advanced Composite Materials and Textile Research Laboratory
Lowell, MA (December 1995 - Present)
- Responsible for conducting research on various projects:
Major League Baseball, National Collegiate
Athletic Association, Baum R&D: Currently investigating and quantifying the
performance of baseball bats, comparing wood, metal and composite bats. Also
examining the baseball's affect on bat performance. Several experimental procedures
are used, combined with finite element models, that examine different aspects of the
bat-ball collision.
Sports Engineering Consultants:
Assisted in field performance testing of baseball bats considered for approval by Major
League Baseball, including laboratory testing.
Kazak Composites: Laboratory
testing and analysis of composite sandwiched panels.
Fiberglass Fabricators, Inc.:
Successfully modeled a fiberglass pressure vessel using finite element methods to confirm
the tank's strength. Material property testing of the tank material was performed.
Solectria, Corp.: Assisted in the
finite element analysis of frontal and side impact crash simulations of the Solectria
Sunrise electric vehicle.
SatCon Technologies, Inc.:
Conducted research of composite materials under consideration for flywheels used in
the Patriot hybrid electric racecar program.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Floor Supervisor, ARAMARK
Corporation
Boston, MA (August 1990 - Present)
- One of four supervisors responsible for the general
operation of the concession stands at Fenway Park during Boston Red Sox baseball games.
This involves the supervision of the concession stands before, during, and after the
baseball games to ensure that the concession stands operate smoothly and the stand help,
approximately 85 people, will serve the customers properly. Also responsible for any
training of the stand help when needed.
Teaching Assistant, University of
Massachusetts, Lowell
Lowell, MA (September 1997 - May 1998)
- Responsible for writing step-by-step tutorials to teach
graduate-level students how to create finite element models using various software
packages. Also responsible for assisting the professor to answer any questions the
students have in completing the assignments.
- Taught sophomore-level CAD course, teaching students how to
use CADKEY and supervised the associated machine shop laboratory under the direction of
the department machinist.
RELATED COURSES and PROJECTS
- Mechanical Engineering (Graduate Level):
Advanced Mathematics, Finite Element Methods, Applied Finite Element Methods,
Inelastic Finite Element Methods, Modal Analysis, Heat Conduction, Solid Mechanics,
Failure Analysis, Composite Materials and Structural Applications of Composite Materials.
- Plastics Engineering: Polymer
Material Science, Plastics Processing Engineering and Laboratories.
- Various semester-long class projects such as the design and
manufacturing of a fatigue testing machine, four-bar linkage, a sterling engine and a
double dwell cam mechanism that introduced design, manufacturing and team concepts.
AWARDS and AFFILIATIONS
- Awarded 1999 Outstanding Graduate Student Award
for the mechanical engineering department.
- Present a paper titled "Using LS-DYNA to
Characterize the Performance of Baseball Bats" at the 5th International LS-DYNA
User's Conference in Detroit, MI in September 1998. (The abstract
can be read here.)
- Entered the Student Paper Competition sponsored by the
American Society of Engineering Education, New England Section Conference held at Tufts
University in April 1996.
- Worked with a partner to place third, winning $5,000 in the
1995 National ASME Comparative Motion and Control Contest.
- Past Secretary of SAE chapter and Vice President of the
Advanced Composite Materials Club.
