Halifax, Canada

- assessed sample quality using state-of-the-art equipment allowing improvements in sample manufacturing processes- improved centre visibility with new professional website and new communication system that reached double the number of clients- organised workshops to educate clients and inform potential clients of the centre’s capabilities

Stuttgart Area, Germany

- managed research programs and collaborated in research teams to achieve full understanding of complex sample performance- assessed sample quality and performance using multiple techniques to allow optimisation of sample production - analysed data to determine defect statistics to quantify sample quality and performancee.g. - investigated response of perovskite electronic materials to mechanical loads in a variety of environments- performed imaging and chemical analysis with optical and both scanning and transmission electron microscopes- organised international conferences to showcase team accomplishments, network, and arrange and maintain international collaborations

Manchester, United Kingdom

- assessed material performance to design process improvements for industry- managed research programs and collaborative teams to maximise scope of investigations- supervised and trained junior team members to improve team efficiency and longevity - executed analysis and reporting to industry partner’s standard to allow implementation of prompt and effective process improvementse.g.- measured weld residual stresses and the influence of microstructure and transformations- characterised stiffness maps of welds for clarifying ultrasonic array defect measurements

University Of Manchester, Uk

- created quarterly print and on-line newsletter for University research staff- performed interviews, wrote articles - solicited and edited submissions- designed and arranged layout - managed printing, publicity and distributionThis was a volunteer position.

Kingston, Ontario, Canada

- focused on materials for low-carbon energy systems- performed neutron diffraction measurement of residual strains in Inconel 600- modelled residual stresses for comparison with alternative measurements
