As a member of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA, I was involved in a research project on Complementarily Oriented Bulk Acoustic Resonators (COBAR) from November 2022 to the present. The project aims to measure the strain profile created by ion implantation of hydrogen ions into LiNbO3 wafers before exfoliating them and creating thin films. My primary responsibility was to use X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and a simulation tool called RADS to help measure the strain… Show more As a member of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA, I was involved in a research project on Complementarily Oriented Bulk Acoustic Resonators (COBAR) from November 2022 to the present. The project aims to measure the strain profile created by ion implantation of hydrogen ions into LiNbO3 wafers before exfoliating them and creating thin films. My primary responsibility was to use X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and a simulation tool called RADS to help measure the strain profile of the implanted wafer. I also contributed to the planarization technique using Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) to help further wafer bonding.Through this project, I gained valuable skills in materials science and engineering, specifically in the areas of ion implantation, thin film fabrication, and planarization techniques. I also gained experience in using simulation tools such as RADS to measure the strain profile of the wafer. Additionally, I developed my ability to work in a team environment and collaborate with other researchers in the lab.Overall, the COBAR project provided me with a unique opportunity to apply my skills in materials science and engineering to a real-world problem, and I gained valuable experience that will help me pursue my future career goals in this field.

My main responsibilities were to identify potential risks and devise strategies to mitigate those risks.To achieve this, I conducted a detailed analysis of the project plan and timeline, identified critical areas, and assessed the likelihood and impact of potential risks. I utilized tools such as Primavera P6 software to manage the project schedule, mitigate financial risks, and ensure timely completion.One of the significant risks I identified was the loss of combustion gases used to reheat the blast furnace. To mitigate this risk, I recommended the implementation of a gas collection system and analyzed its feasibility and cost-effectiveness. The implementation of this system resulted in a 23.3% increase in efficiency, reducing the overall operational costs of the steel plant.Another critical risk was the possibility of delays in project completion due to unanticipated events such as labor strikes or natural disasters. To address this, I created contingency plans and established a risk management framework to ensure the project's timely completion.Overall, my experience as a Risk Management Intern has taught me the importance of proactive risk management, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. I gained valuable experience working with industry professionals, managing complex projects, and leveraging advanced project management tools.-Utilized Primavera P6 software to decrease the project duration by 5% through mitigating financial risks.
