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
