Vice President / Henry Enterprises, Inc. 2006-2008
Worked on a model to translate physical parameters of design to equivalent circuit parameters of electric motor.
Co-programmed model using MathCad. Analyzed equivalent circuit model in great detail and
added to analysis tools genetic algorithm programmed in Octave (Matlab). Project still in progress.
Created control system for existing CNC Lathe with dysfunctional computer and controller. Created
2-channel velocity-control, position feedback control system. New control system consists of a series
of analog and digital circuits that communicate with a computer running Linux via off-the-shelf
microcontroller. Microcontroller and computer programmed to implement real-time control system.
Precision machining with manual tools and skills in programming CNC milling machines.
Usage of AutoCAD and BobCAD/CAM software.Research Assistant / KU Mechanical Engineering, Biodynamics Research Laboratory 2005-2006
Researched vendors for low-pass filter bank in data acquisition for force-control experiments with Parkinson's
patients. Due to available funds, proposed design/build of equipment from components. Located
IC to be used successfully for application; created adjustable analog circuit, housing and
interfaces. Tested circuit and verified performance. Filter bank currently being used in
Parkinson's disease research at KU Medical Center.
Proposed novel analysis method to analyze human responses in force control experiment using hybrid monte-carlo
method.Teacher-Tutor / KU Math Department, Algebra Program 2001, 2002, & 2004-2006
Tutored students and taught college algebra classes with 4 semesters of teaching experience.
Created series of lecture material on mathematics for signal processing topics for advanced classes.Research Assistant / Attention and Emotion Lab, Cognitive Psychology Fall 2004
Volunteer. Gained experience with Electroencephalography (EEG) measurement techniques and
Event Related Potentials (ERP) analysis. Work in Cognitive Psychology supports education related to
auditory neuroscience and the larger field of cognitive neuroscience.HPC Engineer Level 1 / Atipa Summer 2004
Assembled nodes, troubleshooted hardware, and installed software for clusters.Student Assistant / KU Library Information Technology Services 2003-2004
Served as IT support staff for all KU libraries. Gained experience with networking and
computer systems administration.
Provided troubleshooting and support for library patrons.Research Assistant / KU Clinical Psychology 1999-2002
Volunteer. Administered experiments, collected data and analyzed results with SPSS for
Clinical Psychology work.
In a second project, worked on data analysis method involving lengthy process of transposing data from OMNIGRID
to HICLAS format. Wrote computer program to translate files individually or in batches, improving efficiency
allowing for data processing to follow immediately after data collection, even permitting on-site
analysis. Achieved low-ranked authorship for contribution. | |
