  Howden, A Chart Industries Company

  Dec 2016 - Feb 2017

  Project Engineer

  •Performed meticulous reviews of CAD drawings for fans and blowers, ensuring accuracy and compliance with specifications.•Authored detailed assembly process reports to document procedures and enhance operational efficiency.

• 

  University of Melbourne

  Sept 2021 - Mar 2024

  •Supported the University with the construction of a wind tunnel on a new campus as part of their strategic priority. •Identified issues with the wind tunnel where the velocity distribution is non-uniform after the U-turn section. •Provided leadership to the project team to articulate identified issues with the construction company and communicate precise requirements. •Illustrated the wind tunnel structure by gathering existing drawings and scaling down the illustration in acrylic plates to a ratio of 16:1. •Fusion360 and SolidWorks were used to determine the dimensions of each component and the assembly methods. •Developed an automated mechanical traverse system that controlled the Pilot Tube's movement in various directions. •Measured the velocity distribution at the model’s exist and compared the results with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. •Presented to the construction team a recommendation of installing six discrete splitters in the corner section to address the issue Show less •Supported the Lead Professor in preparing and delivering lecturers in both in-person and remote settings. •Provided technical support and academic guidance to students during laboratory sessions (e.g. designing CNC laboratory). •Facilitated tutoring sessions on modelling techniques using SolidWorks, AutoCAD and PrusaSlicer. •Shared sound engineering knowledge with the ability to uplift the student's technical capabilities. •Led the development of instructional materials for SolidWorks and 3D printing in line with student learning needs. •Supervised students throughout their research project while offering constructive feedback and positive recognition. Show less •Led the construction of the University's first high-precision, temperature-controlled wind tunnel floor.•Identified an optimal type of roughness to improve heat transfer by 10% through extensive investigation, experiments, and CFD simulations. •Established experimental methods to demonstrate the presence of KH rollers on roughness surfaces. •Worked as a part of a small team to prepare correspondence for not only the University but also external parties such as government agencies. •Maintained constant communication with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (in regards to research progress and any emerging issues.
