   Verify structural integrity of propulsion structures using FEA and classical analysis methods- Document strength checks to support FAA certification of the design- Developed a tool to automate dynamic analysis to predict structural failures due to acoustic loading using Python and Nastran- Planned, supervised, and processed modal impact testing to determine structural damping ratios. Simulated random vibration analysis to predict stress levels due to random excitation- Created custom in-house modal curve-fitting tools, to determine structural mode shapes from impact test data to validate FEA models- Pioneered a project to establish a modal testing center, creating pre/post-processing modal testing tools. Worked with suppliers to procure necessary testing hardware, setup the testing processes and procedures, and created custom user interfaces to acquire, visualize, and record modal impact testing data using LabVIEW.
