Designed and implemented a customer’s automated manufacturing system. This system developed included state-of-the-art collaborative robots, high-speed multi-axis robots, and multi-camera HD color vision systems. The project was started with a high-level set of customer requirements, and then continued for the life of the project based on continued collaboration with the customer. Success was achieved for not only large-scale assembly operations but for single operator work cells as well. Increased production, reduced costs, and improved quality were all accomplishments with this project.

Member and on-site representative of Toyota Motor’s manufacturing and research development operations in North America (TEMA). Worked for a semester and a summer session at their Huntsville, Alabama manufacturing facility to ensure manufacturing integrity and optimization. Collaborated directly with line workers, plant engineers, plant maintenance, outside contractors, and other TEMA engineers to quickly respond to prevent and if necessary to fix any issues impacting downtime and Toyota’s high standards of quality.

As a three-month full-time and nine-month part time Co-op assignment, worked with a Xerox research team to explore the use of cold fusion to prevent the wear and needed replacement of fusion rollers in xerographic printers. Provided measurements, modeling, and testing of rollers of different materials and coatings. Built test fixtures, created MATLAB code to run said fixtures, and analyzed results using proprietary tests to determine the effectiveness of the xerographic process.
