   Prospective Employer:

   I am seeking a challenging position in software development in
   engineering design and manufacturing applications (CAE/CAD/CAM).
   I am particularly interested in engineering information systems,
   computer graphics, geometric modeling, finite element analysis,
   structural dynamics, numerical modeling, simulation, numerical
   optimization and other advanced computing techniques.

   I am currently a candidate for Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at
   the University of Florida and immediately available for
   employment.  My Ph.D. research is focused in the area of design
   for optimum life-cycle cost.  Life-cycle cost includes the
   design, reliability, quality, manufacturing, operation and
   maintenance costs.  Special emphasis is laid on developing the
   techniques for evaluating the sensitivities of design constraints
   and then performing cost/benefit analysis in order to select the
   best alternatives in design-manufacturing-operation cycle.  In
   this research, extensive code has been written in C++ for
   numerical modeling and optimization (nonlinear and dynamic
   programming).

   My qualifications include a Master's degree in Mechanical
   Engineering with concentration in computer graphics and
   manufacturing automation.  As a researcher for last 6 years, I
   have developed many complex and user-friendly engineering,
   business and database applications on DOS and UNIX systems for
   the University of Florida and other organizations.  I also have
   considerable experience in C, C++, Fortran, Pascal, dBase and SQL
   languages.

   RESEARCHER, Dept of Mechanical Engg., University of Florida, 1987-present.
   * Design for Optimum Life-Cycle Cost with Constraint Management.  An
     integrated design decision system for optimum life cycle cost using non-
     linear and dynamic programming optimization techniques.  Cost includes
     cost of manufacturing, in-plant and external quality costs, operations
     and maintenance cost.  Development of techniques for expansion of design
     space during optimization (using constraint sensitivity analysis) for
     investment decisions in product/process development and R&D.  (in C++).
   * Designed an integrated decision support system for cost analysis of
     strategic investments in R&D and engineering projects.
   * Helped in identifying the database requirements in integrated
     engineering design and manufacturing.
