Dear Sir,
I just graduated with a Master's in Mechanical Engineering, from Montana
State University. My Master's thesis topic was related to the fluid flow and
heat transfer analysis in vertical channels with obstructions. This analysis
was done using NACHOS II (a general purpose finite element computer program
for 2-D, incompressible, viscous fluids including heat tnansfer effects).
A paper entitled, "Effect of multiple obstruction on natural convection heat
transfer in vertical channels", has been submitted for publication in
'International journal for heat mass transfer'.
I have extensively used different FEM packages like COSMOSM, ANSYS and
a host of other software packages as part of my course work. I recently started
another project with a faculty member at MSU whose main research interest is
hydraulic fracture. This project involves the use of the finite element
package NONSAP (NONlinear Structural Analysis Package) for solving bimaterial
fracture problems. This program is run on a CRAY Y-MP (UNICOS operating
system) at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne. The results are
being prepared for publication.
If you require any additional information, please contact me at
(512)218-1842 after 05/19 and at (406)586-8529 before 05/19. Finally, I thank
you for taking the time to examine my resume and I look forward to hearing from
you in the near future.
