EDUCATION
OHIO
UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
AND TECHNOLOGY. Athens, Ohio.
M.S. Mechanical Engineering, 1996.
Current research:
Modeling, thermal-structural stress analysis,
and optimization of the design of compression molds for glassware industry
using computer aided design and manufacturing( CAD/CAM), and finite element
analysis(FEM).
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING (Pontificia Universidad Católica del
Perú) Lima, Peru.

EXPERIENCE
March 1994 to present
Technical assistant.
OHIO UNIVERSITY, Center for Automatic Identification.
Responsible for the administration and troubleshooting of automatic
identification equipment. Regular duties include installation, design and
development of software interface, and implementation of automatic data
collection systems.
-
Conducted industry-sponsored automated testing of bar-codes. Developed control
software to automate the test system. Used third party DLL files to program
a lab tender board using a parallel port I.C.(8225). Electronic triggering
of the scanners was through computer programs. Integrated with Microsoft
Access database for real time data collection
-
Performed ANSI bar-code print quality tests using RJS Autoscan and AIS Scanalyst
software.
-
Developed a Visual Basic user interface to start CD-ROM files by scanning
bar-codes. This could find application on dictionaries, catalogues,
encyclopedias, etc. that require to interact with animated images.
-
Developed a student time and attendance tracking system using barcodes.
-
Developed Visual Basic applications for Norand RF portable data terminals
and Hand Held Products RF-Lite Systems
-
Installed and maintained Sun SPARC, Silicon Graphics workstations, and IBM
PC compatibles in a networked environment. Planned and implemented NFS, set
up printers, tape drives and CD-ROM drives
March 1994 to present
