WORK EXPERIENCE

Fall 2008—Present    |    Texas Engineering Experiment Station    |    College Station, TX

Graduate Assistant Researcher

  s Performing research on real-time structural health monitoring of bridge structures using a network of wireless sensors to detect damage; the wireless sensor network detects damage by sensing changes in global dynamic properties of the bridge structure.

  s Performing research on including torsion mode shapes in calculations for detecting damage in structural members

Summer 2008    |    Texas Transportation Institute    |    College Station, TX

Graduate Assistant Researcher

  s Performed research on the effects of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and delayed ettringite formation (DEF) on the performance of lap slices, bonding, and development length of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge columns. ASR and DEF are chemical reactions which can be hazardous to the long-term performance of structural concrete

  s Managed a TxDOT research project and a team of undergraduate workers

Spring 2007—Spring 2008    |    Texas Transportation Institute    |    College Station, TX

Undergraduate Student Researcher

  s Performed research on effect of ASR and DEF on lap splice performance of concrete bridge columns
