Mechanical Development Engineer Co-Op and Mechanical/Materials Development Engineer
Solid Material Solutions specializes in the development and commercialization of Bi-2212 (BSCCO) High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS) products, including advanced stators for electric aviation and magnets for subscale proton therapy devices. I originally joined the team while on Co-Op at Wentworth Institute of Technology, assisting with prototype components and developing a small-reel wire re-spooler. Following my graduation, I transitioned into a full-time role to lead larger device development projects, including the design and commissioning of long-length fine wire drawing and twisting lines. Most recently, I led the end-to-end development of the automated conveyance system for a collaborative 2G (REBCO) superconducting tape lamination project. More information about these projects can be found here. My day-to-day responsibilities span the entire engineering lifecycle, from designing and maintaining full-scale production machines to manufacturing superconducting components and analyzing their operational data.
Product Engineer Co-Op
In my first Co-Op while at Wentworth Institute of Technology I worked as a product engineer on the Diamond Diagnostics R&D electrolyte analyzer team. In this role I had many day to day responsibilities as well as a number of R&D projects. Some of these responsibilities included: conducting quality assurance inspections on incoming components, maintaining all 3D printing equipment on site, designing and printing prototype and refurbishment components, assisting in the repair of production equipment, and maintaining solidworks assemblies and drawings to ensure they were up to date with existing designs. One of my larger projects in this role was assisting in the development of a new autoloader system for samples into an existing electrolyte analyzer device, more details into that project can be found here.
Manufacturing Technician
In the Summer of 2020 I worked as a manufacturing technician for Insulation Technology, a company specializing in the production, forming, packaging, and recycling of expanded polystyrene (EPS). In this role I operated a number of different machines used in the production of EPS, including a hot wire cutter for forming large billets into individual slabs for insulation, a CNC foam shape cutter for specific packaging development and an industrial grinder-densifier-extruder for recycling large quantities of EPS into slabs of solid polystyrene.
Active Differential Equations Student Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant
In the Winter 0f 2022 I worked as a teaching assistant for a differential equations class which focused on learning using hands on education and group work. In this role I would hold study sessions, prepare practice questions, and assist with in class direction. In the summer of 2020 I began working as a research assistant for this same class. In this role I assisted in the development of a textbook for students for use in a more interactive classroom, this textbook can be found for sale on amazon here. I also created homework problems which were written using LaTeX and sent to students using an online distribution software called webwork.
Instructor, Video Editor, Area Manager
From October 2016 to August 2020 I was an employee for a company called Incrediflix. This company held summer camps and after school programs where students had the chance to learn about cinematography, camera equipment, and what it takes to make a film. I began as an instructor and video editor where I implemented my skills using Adobe Premiere to edit films. In 2019 I was promoted to an area manager for Massachusetts, in this role I ensured all local camps ran smoothly and supplied instructors with necessary equipment. In 2020 I was asked to hold trainings for instructors in New England as a whole to help them further educate their students and run successful camps.
