Objective      To obtain an entry-level position in aerospace, remote-sensing, or biomedical industries.

 

Education      M.S. in Industrial Mathematics, with a focus in computational physics/engineering                                                    8/03-05/05

                         Michigan State University

The goal of this program is to produce generalized problem solvers of great versatility, capable of moving within an organization from task to task. The graduate will have studied not only the standard mathematical and statistical tools, but also the basic ideas of engineering and business, and will have received training in project development and in modes of industrial communication.

 

                         Broad Management and Communication Certificate

A series of week-end workshops covering the topics: Marketing Management, Financial Management, Managerial Accounting, The Legal Environment of   Business, Micro and Macro Economics, Project Management, Writing for Clarity, Group Communication, Presentation Skills, Negotiation and Consensus Building.

                        

                        GPA: 3.75/4.00, 18/36 graduate credits completed.

                        

                        B.S. in Applied Mathematics, with a minor in Physics                                                                                                        8/97-12/01

                        Pennsylvania State University

                        Thesis Title: “Deconvolution of scattered acoustic fields for ultrasonic imaging,” advised by Doug Mast

                        GPA: 3.85/4.00

 

Courses        Survey of Industrial Mathematics

                       

Industrial Project: DaimlerChrysler Corp.

With two team-members, we studied the conformability of engine piston rings to a distorted cylinder bore.  We simulated the problem in MATLAB and plan to publish some of our results in SAE.
