EXPERIENCE

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI 1993-2001 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering The graduate program in Environmental Engineering and science is ranked second in the nation by the Gourman Report (1995), and is listed consistently among the top 20 U.S. Environmental Engineering programs by the U.S. News and World Report rankings. The Department has a budget of about $8 million per year, including over $5.2 million in grants and contracts. The typical enrollment is 160 graduate students.

Research Fellow - U.S. Department of Education and Electric Power Research Institute Determined an unknown reaction pathway responsible for unwanted NOx formation during a dry injection flue gas desulfurization process used for a coal burning power plant application by the Public Service of Colorado.

• Searched and compiled important literature back through the 1960s.

• Designed and built a differential fixed bed reactor including an inlet simulated flue gas manifold.

• Modified, operated, and managed data from a NOx and SOx gas analyzer.

• Measured sorbent products for changes in surface area, pore size, elemental carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur content.

• Used XPS and XRD to identify product crystal compounds.

GE Ceramic Coating Engineer 1989 to 1991
Responsible for development of coatings that provided oxidation/corrosion protection and specified infra-red optical signatures.

• Enabled customer production scale up by defining an innovative pulsed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique for a fluidized bed process. Resulted in increased oxidation resistance for the FeCrAlY substrate.

• Determined US Navy corrosion specification limits for use of an MCrAlY ceramic matrix composite (CMC). Substantiated through Type I SO2 laboratory testing.

• Positioned GE as industry lead in IR suppression and was Awarded the Significant Engineering Productivity award for development of a durable, high temperature low emissivity coating. Project included leading all sputter deposition activities and IR measurement collection tasks.

GE Coatings Engineer 1988 to 1989
Responsible for development and transition of advanced coating processes.

• Obtained GE-EMTL's highest recognition award, the STAR Award, by planning, coordinating, and successfully executing a six month, $145K program to develop and transition into manufacturing a two step sputter deposition process on polymeric composite vanes for erosion protection in sandy desert environments.

• Acted as a technical liaison to a satellite plant to develop and integrate a new chemical vapor deposition facility for vapor phase aluminides.
