About
The
Engineer
I'm a mechanical engineer who operates at the intersection of simulation fidelity and experimental validation. My graduate work at Michigan Tech is concentrated in analysis — structural dynamics, thermal-fluid simulation, and signal processing — with a 4.00 GPA across coursework that spans FEM, advanced CFD, vibro-acoustics, tribology, and DOE.
Before grad school, I spent 18 months as a Design Engineer at Triveni Engineering, where I owned projects from concept through manufacturing release across marine propulsion shafting, gas turbine packages (GE LM2500), and industrial pump systems. I reduced design failure probability by 35%, cut engineering cycle time by 50%, and delivered a GE-certified acoustic enclosure that passed compliance review on the first submission.
My research at the CFAM Lab involves deploying 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry to characterize fluid-structure interaction at resonant frequencies — DOE-funded work that demands precision instrumentation, rigorous experimental design, and tight simulation-experiment correlation.
I'm driven by the belief that engineering confidence comes from validated data, not assumptions. Every project in my portfolio carries quantified metrics because the numbers are the point — they are the evidence that the work holds up.
What I'm looking for
A 6–12 month full-time co-op (40 hrs/week) where I can apply multi-physics simulation, structural-thermal analysis, or experimental validation to problems that matter. Currently based in Houghton, MI — open to relocation.
