Processes, Design & Manufacturing, Thermal Fluids, Dynamics & Modeling,\nControls, Manufacturing Systems, Mechanics & Materials, Measurement & Instrumentation, Project Lab.\nBiomedical Engineering: Biochemistry, Biomaterials, Genetics, Quantitative Physiology\nEconomics and Management: Applied Micro, Micro, Macro, Public, Health, Prob. & Stat, Engineering Management.\nOther: Problem Solving using Java, Communicating in Cyberspace, Spanish IV.\nCumulative GPA: 4.3/5.0\n\nACADEMIC\nPROJECTS\n\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology (Product Process Engineering)\nCambridge, MA\nSept \xe2\x80\x93 Dec 2001: Designed a water-shooting remote control tank toy in a senior design class with a team of 15\npeople. Headed design of the turret subsystem including designing in SolidWorks and manufacturing the\nsubsystem. Created product brochure for the industry and public presentation.\nInsight Technology\nLondonderry, NH\nFeb. \xe2\x80\x93 May 2001: Redesigned with two others a manufacturing system line that produces 1000 products a month.\nReduced cost, line throughput time, Work-In-Progress and order lead time.\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology (Design & Manufacturing I & II)\nCambridge, MA\nFeb \xe2\x80\x93 Dec. 2000: Designed and built a robot for competition. Designed and manufactured unique yo-yo in a team\nof eight people. Designed in SolidWorks, made molds using a milling machine and lathe, injection molded and\nassembled 50 yo-yo\xe2\x80\x99s.\n\nWORK\nEXPERIENCE\n\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\nCambridge, MA\nJune \xe2\x80\x93 Aug. 2001: Designed the structures & mechanisms subsystem for three different implementations of a\nsatellite swarm consisting of one mother and twelve daughter satellites. Worked with students from MIT, Caltech\nand Stanford. Used ICEMaker (a Visual Basic Excel program designed at Caltech to share parameters as inputs\nand outputs), NetMeeting and DrawCraft (a SolidWorks add-on designed at Caltech to facilitate creating 3-D\nsatellite models) to share and visualize different design implementations easily and quickly across long distances\nand many computers. Presented in DC to the NRO (the project sponsor) and industry executives, my portion of\nthe design using PowerPoint. Participated in ICEMaker and DrawCraft design system demonstration.\nMerck & Co. (Packaging Technology Department)\nWest Point, PA\nJuly \xe2\x80\x93 Aug 2000: Organized documentation, prepared samples and tracked progress of a contractor installing new\npiece of packaging line equipment to improve performance.
