ABOUT CHARLES NGUYEN
Blue Origin NDT Test Engineer focused on advanced ultrasonic methodologies such as phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) & Full Matrix Capture - Total Focusing Methods;(FMC-TFM) in contact and immersion settings. Current hold ASNT NDT Level - Ultrasonic Testing and Blue Origin internal PAUT certificaton. Exploring various ultrasonic techniques to determine/develop techniques & procedures to promote high fidelity inspections. I support various programs at Blue Origin, such as New Shepherd, New Glenn, BE-3, & BE-4. My contributions has led to increased understanding of the component(s) and reduction in backlogs & schedule slippage. I am adept in a wide gamut of ultrasonic acquisiton systems, such as: Zetec Topaz/Emerald, Olympus Omniscan MX I/II & MX3, Eddyfi Gecko; and their associated analysis softwares (Ultravision, OmniPC 4/5 & Weldsight, and Capture). I make it a goal to relay the NDT knowledge I\'ve gained to folks that do not have an NDT I was at NSWC Carderock lead NDT & E researcher. Where my focus area was in the NDT & E of Additive Manufacturing. Identified as an ultrasonics/computed tomography SME to support NAVSEA 05P2 TWH with existing/developing NDT requirements and advanced NDT techniques. NDT techniques explored included PAUT, time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), FMC-TFM, resonance ultrasound, and computer tomography School Research:Thermal-viscoelastic dependency PEEK polymerViscoelastic nature of greener construction material, geopolymersNano-chemical-mechanical properties of ordinary Portland cementsAdvanced modeling of viscoelastic materials by contact resonance atomic force microscopyCharacterization of Resilin for Tissue EngineeringCompleted Bachelor of Science in applied physical analysis and medical/theoretical mathematics with a minor in biological physics. Undergraduate Research:BORG Lab with biological physics optics at Creighton University. COMB Lab with computational molecular modeling of 2PrP.
