Graduate Research Experience

My graduate research has been valuable applied engineering experience. I have been working under the direction of Dr. M. C. Altan on a research project sponsored by NASA, focusing on gravity effects during molding operations in composite materials manufacturing. I began performing this research as an undergraduate, and in the past year I have been the principal experimental research student for the mechanical engineering component of the project. Some of my main responsibilities have included

Selection and Purchase of $20,000.00 in research equipment
Design and construction of several experimental mold filling apparatus, including extensive contact with the University of Oklahoma machine shop
Design, selection, and assembly of a computer controlled data acquisition system, including several specialized custom measurement circuits
Preparation of technical publications and presentations
Experimental design, experimental methods, and data analysis

Technical Publications

Transmission of results, designs, and methods are a vital part of engineering. Good computer and communication skills have facilitated my preparation of 9 conference publications, and a Journal article in less than a year. More specific details from my research is contained in the following:
