On
the Market: PROFILE: Upon completion of my
graduate work, I was selected to join General Electric’s Edison Engineering
Leadership Program. During my
first rotation I was project leader for the design and construction of
a data acquisition system to monitor the injection of noble metal solution
into operating nuclear reactors. The system was constructed using a combination
of LabView software, NT networked computers, centrifugal pumps, batch
reactors, various spectroscopic and other equipment. Furthermore, I was responsible for data reduction,
statistical analysis, and archival using various software and computer
programming. I performed this
work successfully for several applications at major nuclear power plants
across the United States. For the past three years
I have been managing a program to investigate heat transfer in rocket
engine combustion chambers. During
this time I developed ability in finite element analysis software, propellant
formulations, chemical and combustion chemistry, and program and personnel
management. Funding for this work will cease this month and unfortunately
has not been renewed. It is for
this reason I am seeking a new experience for which I can utilize my current
expertise. Professional Experience (Company Name) Finite Element Analyst/Program Manager 8/99 – present ·
