RESEARCH: X-RAY FLOW VISUALIZATION

RESEARCH ASSISTANT | MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY, AMES, IA

December 2017 - June 2019

Research: X-ray Flow Visualization at the ISU Experimental Multiphase Flow Laboratory 

• First authored a paper on multiphase liquid jet phenomena through data collected at Argonne National Lab in partnership with the Office of Naval Research  

• Analyzed liquid jet properties such as frequency intensities, necking, wicking, and instabilities between laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow

• Designed, manufactured, and assembled a mobile camera mount for the X-ray flow visualization facility 

• Coordinated the implementation of lead lining to reduce X-ray exposure on high-speed cameras 

• Assisted mechanical engineering graduate students with various laboratory tasks 

• Processed and analyzed X-ray data pertaining to liquid flows using MATLAB, Python, Excel, and Premiere Pro 

• Presented research on liquid jets and X-ray flow visualization at APS DFD Conference 2018
