Engineering Projects
Experimental Vibrations
An experiment developed to study and control nonlinear vibrations that can occur in bladed disks of turbomachinery
Stochastic Simulations
A methodology developed to estimate the stochastic response and quantify the probability of transitions into undesired vibration modes of mechanical systems
Escape Path Optimization
An optimization scheme developed to solve for minimum energy (optimal) escape paths out of undesired vibration modes of mechanical systems
Nonlinearity in Transducers
A year long internship project with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to quantify system errors in transducers that are assumed to be linear in dynamic applications, but are actually slightly nonlinear
Powertrain Controls
An internship project with Ford Motor Company that included developing safety requirements, programming in C, and verification and validation of the requirements via simulation and experiments
NASA Student Launch
A set of extracurricular undergraduate projects developing autonomous ground support equipment and high-powered rockets for NASA student-led competitions
