B.S., Engineering,
Harvey Mudd College, 2006

 

Mr. O'Grady’s coursework at Harvey Mudd College was in General Engineering. Special focus was given to rigid and fluid mechanics and to design.

 

As an engineering intern at VECO Alaska, Mr. O’Grady performed medium and large scale stress analysis of pipelines and associated transfer stations. He also designed and assisted in the design of modified supports for pipelines between 2 and 16 inches in expansion loops.

 

Mr. O’Grady assisted with the internal research and development of a new vision system for autonomous UAVs as a student engineer at the Southwest Research Institute. He also assisted in design and modeling tasks associated with the development of a Rapidly Installed Fluid Transfer System for the US military.

 

As an engineer at the Southwest Research Institute, Mr. O’Grady worked in 2006 on the risk-reduction phase of the A-10 Propulsion Upgrade Program to evaluate the impact on various aircraft subsystems of an engine upgrade. He is currently supporting the A-10 Precision Engagement upgrade.
