October, 31 2024 - Verified by Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteI modeled 3D hydraulic structures in AutoCAD, created meshes in SALOME, ran computational fluid dynamics simulations of multiphase flow in OpenFOAM and SimScale, wrote a report on the 11,600-sq. mi (30,000 sq. km) watershed's hydrology, hydric balance, sedimentology, glacier retreat, and climate classification, and developed a manual for current and future engineers to use OpenFOAM in hydraulic engineering projects for the agricultural development project "Chinecas."
I performed in-field quality control inspections, such as verifying stirrup and tie diameter and corroborating spacing and electrical and sanitary installation piping, recorded column, plate, beam, and girder paving on AutoCAD blueprints, calculated the weekly area paved, and calculated lintel material and brickwork needed, as well as estimated total pre-slab area, using Microsoft Excel at the construction site of the 25-story, 363-apartment residential building IN+."
