The design improved on features of already existing models, with lighter weight and multi-purpose features. Improved motor testing installation procedures for bearing seals onto motor-shafts in order to prevent part damage and motor failings. Optimized tooling used for testing of motor performance. ### Research Assistant - Solar Thermochemical Biofuel Production @ University of Florida Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 Solar thermal energy research to determine the most effective mixed-metal species for producing biofuels in oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions that utilize solar thermal energy. Mixed-metal ferrites have shown much promise in solar-thermochemical synthetic-fuel production. Various metal ferrite samples were synthesized and tested to determine the most promising metal ferrite combination in producing the highest and most consistent yields of O2 and CO. These insights can guide future efforts in developing the next generation of thermochemical fuel production materials. Background: Solar-thermochemical water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) splitting refers to the stripping away of oxygen (O2) from H2O and CO2 molecules through the use of concentrated solar energy. From this process, molecular hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) can be extracted. These two products form the building blocks for the production of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels. Moreover, forming liquid fuels in this fashion allows for the storage of concentrated solar thermal energy in a form that allows for easy transport and storage. This method provides a means of efficiently transporting clean solar energy from regions of intense solar insolation to areas with poor solar resources, a problem faced by the direct production of electricity via solar energy. These benefits make thermochemical H2O and CO2 splitting a promising field of research. A great deal of interest has been generated towards determining which metal oxide material has the greatest potential for efficient H2 and/or CO production. This research presents a comparative analysis of the performance of different mixed metal ferrites. The second part of this study will seek to determine the most suitable metal ferrite for thermochemical CO2 splitting. ### Mechanical Design Engineer @ GE Appliances Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 Performed concept selection methods of plastic components and used rapid-prototyping to analyze design features. Enhanced strength and efficiency of dishwasher cup-shelves through finite element analysis (FEA) analysis. Designed concepts of plastic dishwasher components using SolidWorks and tested them for performance and high manufacturability. Performed mold flow analysis for new parts. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering University of Florida ### Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management in Engineering/Industrial Management Stanford University ### Computer Software Engineering Hackbright Academy ### Associate of Arts (AA) in Mechanical Engineering Broward College ### Italian Language Università degli Studi di Urbino Carlo Bo ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nicholereyes --- Source: https://flows.cv/nichole JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/nichole/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-11
