St. Albans, Vermont

Responsible for the identification, development, implementation, and validation of process improvements for commercially approved transdermal pharmaceutical products in a cGMP manufacturing facility. Developed a Near-Infrared Process Analytical Technology (PAT) system for continuous monitoring of coating quality. Specialized in the mixing and fluid coating.

East Windsor, CT

Improved polymer-based extruded encapsulants for use in photovoltaic modules. Determined the ideal additive loading in a given polymer resin through proper design of experiments. Performed a variety of analytical techniques for the material characterization of encapsulants. Responsible for maintaining accurate records in a research log and for supporting.

Groton, CT

Assisted the development of a Quality-by-Design (QbD) manufacturing procedure for the lubrication of pharmaceutical tablet formulations. Collected laboratory data to better understand the effect of magnesium stearate lubrication on 18 different excipients used in pharmaceutical tablet formulations. Measured the lubrication sensitivity of these excipients.

Storrs, CT

Helped create a software model to predict variances in lyophilization process parameters that result in product collapse, a major cost impact to pharmaceutical production. Freeze-dried salt solutions using a LyoStar II under the guidance of Dr. Robin Bogner and Dr. Michael J. Pikal, both world renowned leaders in lyophilization. Returned to the laboratory.
