Brian Eldredge

I was a member of the Alleyne Research Group from August 2004 through August 2006.  I researched various methods for improving the accuracy of control-oriented vapor compression cycle system models.  Much of my work focused on validating system-level models containing moving-boundary heat exchanger models.  My experiences in the ARG were both enjoyable and edifying.  I am now working for Schlumberger at their Reservoir Completions Center in Rosharon, Texas.
