  -Lead electrical design engineer successfully designing all rotor electrical

  magnetic

  thermal and ventilation aspects of two air-cooled

  two hydrogen-cooled and four water-cooled product lines.\n\n-Co-owner of two patents re-designing a problematic principle rotor connecting strap which was implemented across the entire Siemens fleet.\n\n-Supported manufacturing and supply management in new material

  process and supplier qualification which helped reduce overall material cost and increased availability of materials.\n\n-Developed several parametric ANSYS models of major rotor components which allows quick thermal and electrical evaluation of changes made to new or current designs.\n\n-Devised several tools for designing rotor components which significantly increased the accuracy of the component design and reduced amount of time drafting waited for information needed to create critical drawings. \n\n-Pioneered an effort to significantly reduce the manufacturing capital costs of machining rotor slots by standardizing the design across geographical and cultural boundaries.\n\n-Nominated and elevated to IEEE Senior member

  Adjunct Professor

  - Taught undergraduate Electric Machines Course. Curriculum consisted of the basic theory of operation and construction of transformers

  both AC and DC motors and generators.\n\n- Instructed an undergraduate class in the Fundamentals of Electric Power Systems. Course consisted of the basic theory (such as per unit

  symmetrical components

  transmission line and transformer models) to understand a basic power system and lay the foundation for follow-on specialized power related topics.
