California, USA
Performed error budget analysis for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena to acquire and track a target with gambolled platform attached to the Space Shuttle.
Performed Control analysis for minimum fuel consumption for the on-orbit maneuvers of the Space Shuttle. This work was done for Rockwell.
His Major field of education at UCLA was Dynamics of multi-rigid and flexible bodies.
Patented and built an almost productized a microprocessor-based single technology liquid sensor that will measure the liquid level temperature and quality of all automotive liquids. i.e. fuel, oil coolant.
Improved handling characteristics of trucks for Mercedes in Germany by performing trade-off studies between steering, brakes, suspension, slip angle, car speed and road conditions.
Performed vibration and stress analysis of light-weight engine mount using Finite Element Analysis.
Improved handling characteristics of automotive vehicles by studying and recommending solutions based on trade-off studies between steering, brakes, suspensions, tires (slip angles) road conditions and car's speed.
Conducted error budget analysis on space systems that include errors sources from software, hardware and uncertainty in the environment.
Performed control analysis of the flexible Shuttle Attached Manipulator Arm.
Performed by simulation, dynamic response analysis of automotive and space vehicles using his educational and industrial experience in Dynamics, Structural and Control Analysis. Selected control schemes which achieve minimal time and fuel maneuvers.
His major field of education at the PH.D. program in the Mechanical Engineering Department at UCLA was in Multi-body Rigid and Flexible systems in open and closed loop configurations.
Studied Vibration and Stress Analysis ( Classical and Finite Element Analysis) at UCLA, Illinois Institute of Technology and Northwestern University.
Performed vibration and stress analysis of Nuclear Turbine and Valves, automotive engine mounts and doors, missile structures, electronic boxes and vehicle bodies with uniform and composite structures.
