• Oversaw the redlining and revision of 10 piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID’s) that make up a compressed gas cylinder preparation area, providing a clear depiction of each system for operator and engineer troubleshooting• Developed Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures for maintenance events such as the replacement of a pressure transmitter and a confined space replacement of a level transmitter, ensuring the safety of all involved individuals• Derived a mass balance demonstrating the passive pressure drop through two ball valves to prevent automatic failure of a manifold pressure test• Determined that a soap check test would be more efficient than a pressure decay test for evaluating leaks on a known area during a manifold pressure test• Assisted the lead engineer in revamping the nesting procedures in a shipping dock by reorganizing cylinders with 3-point contacts, eliminating the costs of building a permanent caging system• Shadowed projects such as a vacuum pump replacement, HF tank LOTO, helium usage reduction, process control development for a pressure test, a containment dike floor replacement, and safe removal of a decommissioned F2 line

• Explored a new approach to the hydrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into terephthalic acid (TPA), providing a faster and more sustainable method for plastic degradation than neutral hydrolysis• Conducted sand-bath experiments, various extractions, and HPLC analysis and recorded data on yield, waste, and environmental impact• Characterized data to highlight the differences between the new hydrolysis and neutral hydrolysis methods
