  Allison Transmission

  May 2018 - Aug 2018

  Product Engineering Intern

  Led an investigation to solve a plant installation issue of a transmission component. The project required design, analysis, testing and reporting activities. The investigation led to improvements in vendor component processing and plant installation procedures. Design improvements were also developed for future implementation timing.Validated a vendor change proposal for 4000 series converter housings.Summarized clamp load data from bolted joint testing and established a “gold source” data storage location for future engineering utilization.

  Engineering Intern in Embedded Controls IR&D

  Led development for a tool that helps create Simulink Test Coverage reports for selected blocks on the Simulink TCM model. Tool was designed to automatically organize files/directories and map inputs/outputs for the respective block. The tool can easily be accessed by right clicking on a respective Simulink block and selecting the “Add Test Case” button. The tool will load the selected input files, simulate the top model for the respective input data, set up a test case and simulate for decision, condition, and MCDC coverage. A detailed user manual was created for the tool with a step by step procedure, troubleshooting, and file organization guide. Participated in a tech review for the component project from last year as an expert on the component. Show less

  Purdue University

  Undergraduate Research Assistant

  Numerous studies and experiments have been done on the impact mechanics of energetic materials, primarily HMX. From those studies and experiments, a lot of theories and observations have been derived. With all of these findings, a need to simulate these results has developed. By being able to simulate the detonation of energetic material, impact of manufacturing defects and constraining geometry can be better understood and utilized to tailor/optimize detonation behavior. In order to achieve a place where simulations can be used in this manner, simulations need to be able to replicate previous experimental results. This study will focus on recreating previous experimental results in simulation for a β-HMX sample with a significant void. Show less
