Received multiple intern and full-time employment offers from DuPont in subsequent years.

Awarded engineering internship before university due to outstanding, independent research in high schoolDeveloped manufacturing methods to significantly increase fibrous content and of straw and epoxidized soybean resin composites as part of the Affordable Composites from Renewable Sources (ACRES by Dr. Richard Wool) Center for Composite Materials

Rather than pulling back academically in High School, I independently developed novel and inexpensive ways to enable Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. The equipment was received as a grant from DuPont under the guidance from William Sokol. I studied highly oriented pyrolitic graphite and discovered atomic dimensions and geometry different than anticipated. Using computer simulation, I discovered that not all atoms are visible, but rather electron clouds are visible and tunneling occurs between layers of graphite. I ended the study by presenting results to donors at DuPont and this led to an internship at the University of Delaware before university.
