Jonathan McGlumphy's Problem Solving Experience:

1. - I developed a control system for rotational tests of large ball-bearings with naval applications.
2. - I proposed a refrigerant vapor test facility to experimentally evaluate centrifugal compressor designs.
3. - I have thoroughly evaluated the experimental uncertainty of an entire test stand in order to satisfy a client that our test results were sufficiently accurate.
4. - I performed computational fluid mechanics research on aircraft engine compressors in order to reduce the size of the engine. This work has been published in the open literature, and others continue to build on my work.
5. - I have developed multiple data acquisition (DAQ) systems for use in research and manufacturing of magnetic bearings, electric motors, electric generators, and variable frequency drives. These systems included appropriate instrumentation, DAQ hardware, and user interfaces.
6. - I developed a portable data acquisition system used to test refrigeration systems at a remote site.
