WORK HISTORY
Undergraduate Research Assistant @Bucknell University College Of Engineering
Lewisburg, PA, US
Conducting experimental research on blind-bolted connections in aluminum and steel hollow structural sections, investigating connection behavior and performance under applied loading. Research involves specimen fabrication, laboratory testing, and data analysis, with findings benchmarked against existing design standards. Work is ongoing, extending from a summer research appointment into the current academic year for academic credit.

ABOUT FINNEGAN ATKINS
BS, Civil Engineering, Bucknell University \'26 | Incoming MS, Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, Columbia University \'27 | Structural EngineeringDrawn to structural engineering for both the intellectual rigor of analysis and design and the creativity the field demands. Undergraduate research in blind-bolted connections in hollow structural sections. Coursework in structural analysis, steel and concrete structures, and solid mechanics. Projects include modeling a historic lattice-truss timber bridge in and MASTAN2, developing a MATLAB-based beam buckling tool, and an AISC capstone designing the gravity and lateral load-resisting systems for a seven-story commercial steel building in Completing undergraduate research on blind-bolted connections in hollow structural sections, wrapping up the capstone, and TAing steel structures before graduating in May.
