What were you doing before joining GE?

Before joining GE, I was a research assistant in the Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) program at Georgia Tech. My research was funded through GE Energy's Smart Grid Challenge, which was a competition to develop near term (5-10 year) solutions on how to improve the reliability of power distribution.

Why did you decide to join GE?

I joined GE because of the company's strong dedication to career and technical growth. GE offers a wide range of learning opportunities and is filled with people who continually push themselves to expand their core areas of expertise.

What are you working on?

I am part of the Prognostics & Health Monitoring (PHM) development team for the F136 engine. My work focuses on developing software that will allow the aircraft to predict engine component failures before they occur. These PHM technologies make the engine more reliable and the maintenance less expensive.

What has been most rewarding about your GE experience?

The most rewarding part of my GE experience has been the friendships I've made with people from all over the world. As part of Edison program, I've had an opportunity to work with teammates from the UK, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Romania, India, China, and Singapore.
