• University of Michigan, Student Research Opportunity Program – Ann Arbor, MI, Summer 2004
Participated in the research on “Finite element analysis for the Turbine Blade Inspection Machine”. As a member in a group of three students and a mentor, I was responsible for designing a plate that would be placed adjacent to a laser sensor, which would measure a blade located on a 360 degree rotary stage. The stage holds the blade in place, so that the blade will be measured properly by the laser sensor. Without designing a new plate for the laser sensor, the sensor would operate properly and would measure the blade accurately.
• Morgan State University, Reconfigurable Factory Testbed, Research Student – Baltimore, MD, 2005-2006
Worked with graduate and undergraduate students on a Reconfigurable Factory Testbed Project. I designed the Human Machine Interface (HMI) controls in a web-enabled distributed supply chain, created commands called "tags", which adds functionality to the system.

Personal Statement:

"I am the last child and the only first generation American in my family who migrated to the Unites States twenty one years ago from Guyana. Like many immigrants, my parents came here to capture the American dream and give their children a world class education. I grew up in the shadow of my two older sisters’ excellent school record. I was always told that education is the key to anything I want in live and that nothing is impossible to do if you put your mind to it. Since I was a toddler, I loved cars and drawing them. As I got older, I realized that my passion did not change and decided I wanted to pursue car designing as a profession. I am a junior at Morgan State University majoring in Industrial Engineering under the mentorship of Dr. Hargrove, Chairman of the Industrial Engineering Department at Morgan State. The idea of creating new and innovative products for consumers is very interesting and compelling. I am intrigued by the mechanics and structural components of all modes of transportations, buildings and appliances. I am looking forward to adding my creation that will benefit people and change the way they live."
