• Engineer & Scientist

  • Jun 2015 - Present

  • Working on engineering a commercial unit named SunCell that produces high power density by using water as a fuel. • Designed and developed a particle recovery system by using electric and magnetic fields and particle ionization methods. • Designed an Electromagnetic pump for very high temperature applications. This new design it not commercially available and BLP currently holds the patent. • Worked on projects related to induction heating, advanced fluid dynamics, heat transfer, materials science, electrical circuits, controls, signal processing, sensors, refractory coatings, electromagnetism and more. •Write daily reports to the CEO and the engineering team logging work progress and encouraging communication and discussion between colleagues. •Worked on testing advanced refractory materials that could withstand extreme temperature conditions. There are no current known applications that expose materials to these extreme environments. • Experience with data acquisition and sensors (LabVIEW, Flow and Force gauges, Current and Voltage probes, Chemical sensors, Thermocouples, Scopes, etc) • Experience with analytics in (Excel, VBA, Mathematica, OriginLab, PicoScope, etc)

  • May 2012 - Aug 2014

  • Developed, designed and constructed an experimental setup for laser ignition of energetic and gas-generating materials • Created LabView automated program for controlling the duration of the laser pulse as well as for storing pressure and temperature data • Acquired extensive experience in Mass Spectrometry (MS), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Laser Flash Apparatus (LFA), Infrared Recording and Calibration, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) • Supervised and trained project teams, as well as, developed detailed operational procedures of every setup developed in the DOD sponsored project. The main purpose was to improve safety and to facilitate future training

  • Jun 2011 - Aug 2011

  • Improved an Underground Coal Gasification algorithm named UCG-MEEE, which functionality was to find the ideal input parameters for gasifying coal underground • Wrote down an algorithm for estimating the total heat loss produced during the Underground Coal Gasification process • Reviewed and summarized every Underground Coal Gasification test done in the USA. A report was written for future UCG experimentation and study • Improved an Underground Coal Gasification algorithm named UCG-MEEE, which functionality was to find the ideal input parameters for gasifying coal underground • Wrote down an algorithm for estimating the total heat loss produced during the Underground Coal Gasification process • Reviewed and summarized every Underground Coal Gasification test done in the USA.
