12/15/23 | Completion of 5th year, first semester | The semester has reached its end, and I couldn't be more thankful! I have discovered a love of material science and engineering, which was sparked during the internship I completed at BakerRisk (read below). The class "Materials Engineering ME334" was the best I've done yet at UT Austin and am grateful to have joined Dr. Filippo Mangolini's research group studying x-ray diffraction in heated materials.
Note: My studies are continuing into a fifth (and probably sixth) year since I'm pursuing two simultaneous undergraduate degrees.
8/11/23 | End of Blast Technician Internship at BakerRisk | I completed my 8 month internship at Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants and now have a new toolbox with which to solve some real life engineering problems. We tested various explosives, flammables, and structural elements for chemical and petrochemical clientele by conducting extensive testing programs at Box Canyon Test Facility. I worked closely with fuel delivery and sampling systems, pressure transducers and amplifiers, data acquisition systems, and the testing system in general.
2/22/2023 | I recently joined the ranks at Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants as a Blast Effects Intern which has offered me so much room for growth. At BakerRisk, we conduct test series with explosives and flammables for the purpose of making the refinery and petrochemical industry a safer place. Such tests, like the one pictured above involve plenty of preparation and work in order to be conducted successfully. My position there currently entails assisting with the deployment of data acquisition systems for explosives testing, such as pressure transducers, thermocouples, and high speed cameras. Additionally, I occasionally work in the office on a project which aims to permanently deploy O2 sensors to our vapor cloud explosion test rig.
While some might argue that explosions are not art related, and graphic design is not engineering related, I can assure you that my experience in the field has utilized both to their max capacity! Explosions are definitely art.

As a student, I'm always working on something new, and will continue to update this website as I navigate college and life! Please feel free to message or email me with any requests or questions, as I would love to share and network in the engineering world.
