EDUCATION
University of South Alabama Mobile, AL United States
Master's Degree 05/2015
GPA: 3.64 of a maximum 4.00
Credits Earned: 33 Semester hours
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Relevant Coursework, Licenses and Certifications:
Coursework: Advanced Engineering Mathematics, Finite Element Analysis, Advanced Fluid Mechanics, Advanced Materials Science, Applied Elasticity, Compressible Fluid Flow, Vibrations of Continuous Systems, Classical Thermodynamics, Continuum Mechanics, Aerospace Propulsion.
- Wrote a MATLAB program to design and analyze a supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) design coupled with a complete combustion model. The combustion program, upon further development, should be capable of accounting for the effects of non-equilibrium dissociation reactions in 15 species via 52 separate base reactions.
- Designed and analyzed (theoretically) a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), as part of a collaborative effort, to visualize potential efficiencies and power output that could be obtained through use of the fuel cell. Wrote a MATLAB program to produce results of voltage, exergy, and efficiencies by operating temperature.
- Utilized the Rayleigh-Ritz Approximation Method to determine potential vibration modes in a thin plate. Designed MATLAB program to perform analysis.
- Using ANSYS, simulated a tensile test of a composite structure with a circular hole cutout to determine displacement and stress/strain within the element.
