Work Experience:
General Electric Aviation Summer of 2017 – Present
Edison Engineering Development Program (start date: August 2020)
EMS Additive Materials Development Intern- Cincinnati, OH (Summer 2019)
• Evaluate key powder characteristics that influence powder performance in additive machines
• Investigate tensile bars and coupons for porosity and fracture surfaces for LEAP DMLM fuel nozzles
EMS Rotor Intern- Cincinnati, OH (Summer 2018)
• Investigated different turning techniques to find a correlation between the cracking, material properties,
and microstructure of a GE9X Rotor Disk using FPI, microscope images, and hardness testing
• Organized the periodic cut up data from R65 forging then compared the data with the original design
curves to ensure the cutup data falls in the same statistical population as the Design Data
• Investigated for ultra-fine grains in Inertia Weld test bars by preparing mounts and analyzing the images
Materials Intern- Batesville, MS (Summer 2017)
• Led projects by analyzing inventory data and adjusting incorrect data to help reverse a ~$2.5M raw
scrap issue by identifying ~$800K in losses
• Reduced abundant sitting inventory from incoming suppliers through forecasting and analyzing
production of the platforms
