EXPERIENCE
U.S. Department of Defense
Aberdeen, MD
September 2009 - Present
Test Director
- Direct testing of military hardware including direct fire and high explosives testing of combat vehicles, ballistic validation of new weapon systems, and environmentally-friendly firing range innovations, including unexploded ordnance recovery and advanced range design
Valero Energy Corporation
Delaware City, DE
June 2008—August 2008
Process Engineer Intern
x Reformate Fractionation Re-Configuration
- Investigated the effects of a possible decommission of 32-C-101 fractionation tower along with its accompanied obsolete fired heater reboiler, 32-H-101, in order to decrease overall heat duty of the system for economic benefit and maintain or improve tetra feed and reformate stream quality
- Performed accurate process modeling using Aspen HYSYS with inputted lab sample data and internal hardware ratings to characterize the current and change case configurations in order to evaluate stream quality and reboiler heat duties
- Estimated economic benefit yields $2,200,000/year in energy savings along with fourfold increase in benzene to toluene ratio in tetra feed
x C4 SHU Process Model
- Completed an accurate base line model of the C4 SHU region using Aspen HYSYS
- Conducted a pressure safety valve evaluation using I-Prism along with hydraulic modeling in PIPE-FLO to determine a valve area which stays within safety limits
x Completed an LDAR valve inventory study to comply with DNREC standards
x Concluded a VERSA study for the hydrocracker to assess total risk factors needed for the installation of emergency isolation valves based on volume, pressure, and liquid type
Exelon Corporation
Kennett Square, PA
June 2007—January 2008
Pricing Analyst Intern
- Performed power-pricing tests for individual customers using four different internal pricing models which use the concept of a Load-Following Shape Premium, a structured product for pricing power on an individual customer basis
- Assisted in design and testing of a hybrid power-pricing model that incorporates maximum efficiencies from previous internal models
- Provided support to Power Team users of the Production Database Server (PDS), a tool used for financial analysis & risk management
- Collaborated with Exelon IT to specify business functional requirements for production systems
Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Delaware
Newark, DE
June 2006—August 2006
Undergraduate Research Scholar
- Performed individual research and assisted in group research regarding the study of peptide and tri-block copolymer self-assemblies, which have large potential applications in nanotechnology and drug delivery
- Demonstrated the ability to obtain results from various types of microscopy used in block copolymer physics, such as atomic force and transmission electron microscopy
- Synthesized and investigated structures of two peptides, (VK)8 and P5, and a tri-block copolymer of PAA99-PMA73-PS66
