Chemical Engineering Intern
As a Chemical Engineer Intern at Grant Industries, I optimized production processes that eliminated a two-step procedure, reducing annual costs. I also created a model correlating turbidity levels to particle size, enhancing process control. I led a project on algae cultivation for polysaccharide extraction. Additionally, I collaborated with team members on operating a thin-film distillation system and resolved oxygen radical absorption capacity, ORAC, testing issues to ensure accurate results. My role also involved supporting daily lab operations, maintaining equipment, and working closely with the production department to ensure quality and safety in batch preparation.
