Engineering Intern and Researcher at University of Illinois Civil Engineering Department
  • United States
  • August 2010 to May 2012

Key member on a multi million dollar state project. The project involved testing the structural integrity of concrete beams with basalt reinforcement which would provide as a much cheaper alternative to steel reinforcement. Furthermore, the project included testing the properties of different concrete mix structures which would be the most durable for cold chicago weather.
