Work History
Geotechnical Engineering Lab
08.2024 - 12.2024
- Gained experience using tools including standard proctors, Atterberg limits, and 1-D consolidation tests.
- Constructed a retaining wall made of paper to hold back sand from failing using paper struts as reinforcements.
- Collaborated with my peers weekly to collect data that will be cited in reports to hypothetical clients
Fluid Mechanics Lab
08.2024 - 12.2024
- Supported team members in completing weekly projects on schedule, ensuring smooth operation of the workshop.
- Conducted a final formal report determining the optimal pipe diameter for transporting water from a reservoir to a population, considering efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Analyzed a case study to model assumptions on pipeline head losses over time and integrated findings into final design recommendations
Numerical Modeling and Risk Analysis
08.2023 - 05.2024
- Crafted a formal report analyzing earthquake patterns in Japan with the use of MATLAB to create a cost-benefit analysis determining optimal cost to allocate toward reinforced housing.
- Created interactive excel spreadsheets that analyzed the cost of certain variables and allowed the user to see the most optimal use of the given resources to reduce costs.
Engineers Without Borders UK Challenge
01.2023 - 04.2023
- Collaborated with a team of fellow students to create a proposal along with a formal report of an engineering solution to a given case study utilizing both AutoCAD and ArcGIS
