Undergraduate Researcher

• Jun 2021 - Dec 2021

Performed Research for Julius Schoop (Ph.D.) in the Institute for Sustainable Manufacturing at the University of Kentucky's College of Engineering. Primary research support focused on how machining affects the material properties of the machining tool, my primary research area was dulling effects on endmills. The data I helped acquired was used to try to correlate changing feeds and speeds of the cutter based on the dulling of the tool to prevent microcracking and other deformations to Titanium-Alumnide. The data collected during this summer position and fall independent study was included in Dr.Schoop's research paper that he published last fall. • Assisted in cuts on the CNC Tormach for a machinability project. • Independent study to develop a vision system tool wear sensor primarily used for Milling Machines.
