May August 2014
Created 3D computer models of parts and assemblies software for nuclear fuel handling tools using
Inventor software
Generated solid models for several types of cable winches to demonstrate how they would function in a
larger system for retrieval of nuclear waste. Worked with winch vendors to obtain equipment specifications.
Scheduled and lead the engineering evaluation to determine critical design, operation, and maintenance
factors for equipment reliability. Created a decision matrix with weighting criteria to determine the best
design.
Gained experience in a professional engineering facility, contributing to new designs as well as existing
projects. Worked with ASME code B31.3 process piping document, piping and instrumentation drawings,
failure mode and effect analysis evaluations, and system design descriptions.
Converted technical presentation on cryogenic systems into a PowerPoint presentation
Obtained training in nuclear safety and contamination control.
Technical Knowledge:
Solid Modeling:
Advanced knowledge in programs such as Solid Works and Inventor
Modeled parts and built assemblies using professional drawing packages and conceptual designs
Generated quality rendered images and animations for parts and systems
Produced shop fabrication drawings
3D Printing:
Exposed to handling and operating a 3D printer, along with creating solid models and printing prototypes
Computational Software:
Skilled in programs such as Matlab and Mathcad
Experienced in developing code and changing functions to perform advanced operations and computations
Proficient in creating equation lines for changing input values and conducting mathematical checks
Projects:
Designed a maintenance panel for nuclear applications, used solid modeling to construct, assemble and
animate parts.
Performed research for a contaminated product transfer, and developed a spill pan for storage. Involved
exposure to piping and instrumentation drawings, as well as work with welding specifications and callouts.
Constructed a lifting mechanism to lift a payload and transport it through an obstacle course. Incorporated
Arduino software/coding, Matlab, Solid Works, and 3D printing. Consisted of five machines working
together autonomously.
Helped develop a single point failures list for a nuclear waste building. Developing experience and
exposure with failure mode and effect analysis evaluations.
