Department of Chemistry, Western Kentucky University Winter Internship, Student Worker (Electrical Engineering)  Controlled local Multimeter via LabVIEW computer interface.  Created VI for graphing Voltage, Resistance, & Current Density in real-time.  Designed testing rig and product enclosure for solar cell design. DHS-STEM Student Internship, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Summer Intern (Python Data Analysis, Math & Statistics)  Ran discrete-time Fourier analyses, digital filtering algorithms, and statistical analyses on large time-series datasets in Python and MatLab.  Suggested project direction and performed independent research.  Created project reports and papers, participated in group projects as a programmer. Lego Robotics Camp, Center for Gifted Studies, WKU Robotics Teacher (Lego Mindstorms, NXT Programming)  Created class curriculum based around beginner to advanced programming challenges.  Managed a classroom of 30 middle-school aged students. May 2014 – December 2014 January March, 2014 June August, 2013 June, 2012; June, 2014 KEY SKILLS LabVIEW (CLAD Certified), MatLab, Simulink, MultiSIM, Eagle, Maxwell, Java, Python (Numpy, SciPy, Pandas), C, R, Assembly, Git, LaTeX Unix, Linux, Windows XP, 7, 8, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PLC Ladder Logic, AC/DC Motor Control, Electronics, Circuit Design PCB Design, VHDL, Arduino, Robotics, Physics & Mathematics, Computer Programming, Control Systems, Signal Analysis, Microprocessors *References available upon request SCHOOL & PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS Solar Cell Measurement (WKU)  Used LabVIEW and a computer connected Multimeter to design an easy to use interface for automatic solar panel testing.  Generates a datasheet containing voltage vs. current graphs, current density information, etc. Twitter Analytics (PNNL)  Used data compiled from 10% of Twitter users grouped by hashtag cluster to attempt to detect major events worldwide and determine how news spread across the network during those events under various conditions.  Used Fourier analysis and convolution to filter out common social media frequencies such as the daily cycle in traffic and weekend spikes.  Using Python, Git, and Unix to process large volumes of plaintext data files, perform statistical analyses, and to display results in clean and presentable formats. Motor Drives Control Project (WKU)  Contributed to the writing of nine LabVIEW scripts to control and measure the speed, power, torque, voltage, and current supplied to/measured by a motor drive system.  Created host-controlled VIs for top-down processing, and user interfaces allowing the user to play with each of the variables described above either independently (open loop), or with computer assistance (closed-loop).  Created a LabVIEW library for the open-loop and closed-loop control of DC and AC motors, along with DC Generators, for easy programming of future VIs on the project. SCADA Senior Design Project (WKU)  Created three PLC testbed systems: a traffic light, a water pump, and a power grid.  Remotely controlled each system via SCADA.  Performed simulated attacks on each system, and creating contingency programming to both prevent and react to each attack. Maxwell 3D Simulation (WKU)  Collaborated on a Maxwell 3D project to create an animated simulation of the magnetic field lines around an ideal 3-phase induction motor under various loads.  Both no load and full load simulations generated. Digital Clock Design (WKU)  Design a 2 digit stopwatch style digital clock using Eagle and MultiSIM.  Print the circuit board using the circuit printing facility and build the board.  Extra Credit: Design a 4 digit minute/seconds stopwatch instead. Robot Competition (WKU)  First Place in speed competition.  Designed a robot using a Basic Stamp and Light Sensors to follow a line through an obstacle course. Created the body of the robot using machining facility. Winter 2014 Summer 2013 Spring 2013 Fall 2013 Spring 2014 Fall 2012 Fall 2011 Fall 2010 PERSONAL PROJECTS Twitter Graph  Monitors Twitter for trending words and phrases in real time.  Detects news articles and links that are being shared at an unusually high rate  Retweets these trending stories if they exceed a certain share rate, so that the most important news stories are pushed to the reader as soon as they appear. Planetary Orbit Simulation  Uses MatLab and Newton’s law of universal gravitation to plot the motion of any number of gravitationally effected bodies.  Uses Parallel processing and MatLab commands to calculate, export, and plot position data.
