Consult high-tech clients, including Arastra, Anagran, Sun Microsystems, and Cisco on the mechanical design of networking equipment : switches, AMC, ATCA carriers, servers and blades. Worked six months in their Dongguan, China office.

Researched the effect of dielectric constants of various ceramic electrodes on the efficiency of photo-electrolysis.

Research Topics included: "Designing lunar and planetary landing gears" and "Assessing the impact of complexity on design iteration"

Instructed 100 students in introductory solid mechanics. Created all course material as the means to challenge students and inspire them in their field.

Taught an introductory computer science course using MIT's OpenCourseWare material to 60 Chinese students in Chinese and English. Stimulated students interest in engineering, western culture, and English, encouraging them to follow their dreams and helped them realize their potential.

Processed, analyzed and presented data from 300 continually operating GPS sites to ensure quality data and its presentation.

Created tests to measure performance of a cardiac surgery medical device used to simplify the proximal anastamosis procedure of bypass surgery.

Developed a method for automatically smoke testing the main functionality of the browser within minutes, thereby greatly decreasing the time to find and identify anomalies. Programmed in Perl and Javascript.

Cost estimation of design changes made to complex systems (Advisor: Professor Nam P Suh) Introduced an innovative method for quickly determining the cost impact of a design change made to complex systems, thereby reducing the cost of estimates and focusing the efforts of decision makers.

Specialized in Design and Manufacturing. Thesis topic: "Modeling of thermal barrier coatings and foams", Advisor: Professor Shahram Sharafat.
