▪ Sketched and printed multiple iterations of a 3D-printed equine respiratory mask out of both rigid and flexible materials using Autodesk Inventor.

▪ Performed troubleshooting operations on by Creality® and Bambu® printers to fix faulty prints, including but not limited to leveling, nozzle cleaning and replacement, and filament baking.

▪ Designed a sensor-integrated block to accommodate the placement of PCB boards, gas composition and flow sensors, and one-way air valves for inhalant and exhalant.

▪ Assisted with the safe transport of hazardous chemicals from chemistry stockrooms to the laboratory for separate experiments.

▪ Completed Technical Work Documents for the re-identification, storage, shipping, and disposal of spare nuclear reactor components for various operations including the inactivation of projects performed at offsite facilities.

▪ Ensured that parts found in storage adhered to drawing specifications found on shipyard databases.

▪ Managed photographs of equipment taken by U.S. Government-owned digital cameras for the purpose of enhancing document quality.

▪ Met with the team to discuss Nuclear Safety considerations and confidential training sessions for familiarization with nuclear reactor systems.

▪ Assisted third-year undergraduate students taking various laboratory classes perform experiments and operate equipment during classroom sessions.

▪ Helped students achieve fluency with basic electronic circuitry, data acquisition models, and NI LabView™ virtual instruments.

▪ File-dropped initial and revised drafts of lab reports among a roster of over 100 students.

▪ Monitored four team-project posters during an in-class exposition and assigned grades based on presentation quality, level of technical detail, and uncertainty analysis.

▪ Performed compression and bending test demonstrations to visiting students attending 3M academy, an institution that aided disadvantaged youth in STEM education, with 3-D printed PLA, wood, and chalk samples with the assistance of PASCO Capstone software.

▪ Cut and machined lap joint samples for tensile test simulation directed towards second-year undergraduates.
