About Ryan Dych

Excited to get into the work force and I am hopeful for an interesting and enriching position in the field of materials science and engineering or metallurgical engineering. I am open to re location, working remote, and traveling. I worked at hydro aluminum this past summer dealing mainly with aluminum extrusions. Projects at hydro consisted mainly of chemical analysis, mechanical testing (tensile and bend), heat treatment, corrosion analysis, tuckers and macro etch, grinding and polishing, grain and crystal structure observations using imaging cameras and software, failure testing, project management, and statistical analysis. I am also involved with the advanced metalworks enterprise as Michigan tech. My current project consists of a team of four with me being the alloy investigator / Thermo-Calc team lead. The project was on a crimp analysis for a wire crimp. My previous enterprise project consisted of creating a gold hard solder for semi conductors that is 50% less expensive to make, this was achieved by using at least 50% flux-less noble metals and cheaper alloying metals. By using thermo-calc, sponsor funding, professional engineering advice, characterization techniques such as SEM, XRD and DSC, as well as grain analysis and alloy indexes, the correct alloys and heat treatments were discovered. I love to work under pressure and deal with difficult problems. I enjoy finding the solution to a problem that is difficult to figure out. I work well with others as well as by myself. I take pride in my work and enjoy being around others who feel the same.
