Bachelor of Science in Optical Sciences and Engineering
Arizona Western College, Yuma AZ
Graduation Date: December 2017
Associate of Science in Engineering
Associate of Science in Physics
SKILLS:
CodeV · Zemax · LabVIEW · MATLAB · C++ · SolidWorks · Interferometers · Arduino Circuits · Laser Safety Certified · Chemical Safety Certified · Microsoft Suite · 3D Printing · Clarinet · ZBrush
COURSES:
Radiometry · Physical Optics I & II · Lasers and Photonics · Semiconductor Physics and Devices · Optomechanical Engineering · Computer Programming for Engineering Applications I & II · Optical Communication Systems
PROJECT EXPERIENCE:
Directed Research – Aluminum Slumping Fringe Projection
October 2020 – May 2021
Worked with LOFT (Large Optics Fabrication and Testing) at the University of Arizona to assist in developing a method of measuring surface deflection in an aluminum panel through fringe projection. Developed MATLAB code to automate the process and analyze fringe projection phase.
Optical Communication System
Summer 2020
Self-motivated and independent project to design an optical communication system using Arduino’s, an accelerometer, laser diodes, servos, etc. Worked in a small team to design a transmitter which communicated data via laser diode to a receiver using servos to adjust when movement is detected.
Fizeau Interferometers and their Applications
December 2019
Researched how Fizeau interferometers work, the different types, and their applications, specifically how the Tucson Optical Research Corp. (TORC) uses a Fizeau interferometer to test the surfaces of their lenses.
Fresnel Lens Demonstration – Laser Fun Day
April 2019
Directed a demonstration using a large Fresnel lens to melt coins outside for visitors to watch. Explained the concept of how a lens is able to accomplish this.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
Operational Lead – Office of Student Computing Resources, University of Arizona
August 2018 – Present
Have been promoted twice to obtain this position. Oversee multiple computer labs throughout the campus, handle instructional equipment reservations, and resolve issues encountered by newer employees. Collaborate with supervisors on rental procedures and lab operations. Provide training to new employees.
