Experience

• 

  Northwestern University

  May 2001 - Jul 2006

  Intern

  - Worked with a UV-visual spectrometer to collect the reflectance spectra of lunar analog materials.- Developed a searchable web-based image database for several NASA Missions: Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), Mariner 10, and Lunar Orbiter II, III, and V.

• 

  Boston University

  Jul 2008 - Apr 2010

  - Conducted two hour long pre-laboratory lectures and aided students throughout their laboratory experiments as the graduate teaching fellow for ME345: Automation and Manufacturing Methods. - Taught students the concepts behind the milling machine and lathe, as well as how to create parts in SolidWorks. The CAD parts were later used to generate tool paths and code for the laboratory's computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines and lathe.- Other topics taught in the laboratory included: geometric dimensioning and tolerancing drawings, statistical process control, programming robots, programmable logic controllers, vision systems, and automated assembly.
