Work History
Reactor Operations and Engineering Intern
National Institute Of Standards And Technology, NIST
Gaithersburg , MD
2022.05 - 2022.08
- Automated the NIST research reactor's visual inspection check of fuel element latch bars.
- Used image and video processing techniques with the OpenCV library on python.
- Implemented multithreading to greatly reduce the program's runtime
- Reduced a 2.5 hour tedious process to a roughly 10 minute automatic one, saving reactor operators upwards of 10 hours of hands-on inspection checks per year.
- Greatly increased accuracy of the visual inspection check and negated human error.
- Designed a graphical user interface for reactor operators to access the program and view results easily.

2021.09 - 2022.05
- Examined 5xxx-series aluminum-nickel alloys for intergranular corrosion (IGC) along grain boundaries.
- Modified the existing method using ImageJ software to calculate IGC as a percent coverage of grain boundaries.
- Improved time efficiency and accuracy of IGC analysis.
- Produced repeatable results that were quantitatively within 1% of trials performed by others working on the project.
