Peer Leader

2017 - 2020

University Center for Academic Excellence, Charlotte, NC

• Selected out of 150 applicants to assist in educating students on the various topics including advanced calculus, engineering statics, and fluid dynamics through approximate 2300 tutoring sessions per semester.
• Lead review sessions to further assist students in understanding course materials in preparation for final examinations. Responsible for session sizes up to 150 students.

Undergraduate Reseacher

2017 - 2020

UNC Charlotte, Charlotte, NC

• Selected out of 200 applicants to participate it the Charlotte Research Scholars 2019 summer program. This experience focused on computational and experimental analysis of ocean current turbines (OCTs) to explore alternative renewable energy production systems.
• Computational analysis was performed with Ansys Fluent and accompanying hand calculations to support fundamental fluid dynamics present in the desired conditions.
• Experimental analysis was performed with a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system to observe refined 3D printed hydrofoils. The data was later used in developing criteria for blade geometry to improve turbine selection techniques.
• Created presentations to communicate progress and results with primary stakeholders.
• Due to previous exemplary research, I was also selected to participate in educational engagement studies for areas related to computer science. The primary objective was to use data analysis to form a conclusion on a student driven thesis.
• Trained to handle large quantities of private data to analyze and organize for current and future usage.
