SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE Analysis

•   Modeled optimization methods to evaluate alternatives for solid-waste management, and water and air pollution control

•   Designed a new sand filter for the Agua Clara 1 L/s plant, and delivered the proposed design to a client as a written report and an oral presentation

•   Calculated and compared heating degree days (HDD) using a weather simulation and the Albright correction approach

•   Determined the fractions of total heat loss through separate parts of a home, and calculated the cost of the yearly heating energy plus the yearly amortized cost of the insulation

•   Conducted an analysis of the economics of renewable energy systems •   Solved and derived solutions for Agua Clara’s water treatment plant, including Mechanical Flocculation

and Modeling, Hydraulic Flocculation, Sedimentation and Filtration •   Designed, with a team of landscape architects and environmental engineers, bioswales and rain gardens

for Block Park in Kingston, NY in order to reduce the frequency and severity of the flood events •   Modeled treatment plans for various projects including BOD and dissolved oxygen, nitrification,

photosynthesis and respiration using STELLA and Excel Communication

•   Communicated to clients about the economic and environmental benefits of renewable energy systems •   Designed and presented to angel investors a complete business plan for The Weekend Guru •   Discussed with classmates and faculty ways to make Cornell University a more sustainable campus, as

well as ways to educate the Cornell community on sustainability §   Investigated how communication effects public perceptions of environmental risk and public opinion

about the environment §   Communicated clearly and effectively in a fast paced environment with coworkers to help ensure a

positive customer experience Initiative

•   Developed and presented with a team sustainable engineering solutions for Appledore Island in relation to energy, water supply, and waste treatment

•   Devised method for efficiently treating waste water contamination •   Participated in The Energy Smackdown: Fall Energy Competition on Cornell University Campus •   Grouped family and friends to join me in the Big East End Clean Up
