-Lead technology deals for all business units of Ecolab's Energy Services division, Nalco Champion-Success in leading deals across the industry value chain of the oil and gas and petrochemical industry, ranging from novel oil field production chemistries to refinery automation solutions to petrochemical processing technologies

-Lead technology deals for the Oil Field Chemicals business unit of Ecolab's former Energy Services division, Nalco Champion (now ChampionX)

Developed surfactant formulations for chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) at TIORCO LLC, a joint venture of Stepan and Nalco Champion, an Ecolab company.

Developed novel nanotechnology-based materials for wide-ranging renewable energy applications, including solar and fuel cell technologies. These materials were developed to replace and/or reduce high-cost materials and precious metals used in current technologies, such as platinum and indium.

-Taught 2nd year undergraduate materials science and developed a new course curriculum with an emphasis on nanotechnology-Received high student evaluations for the course and as an instructor.

-Developed nanotechnology-based medical imaging materials; conducted research in collaboration with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and Alexis Pharmaceuticals (formerly Taligen Pharmaceuticals)-Developed other novel materials for research funded by: the Department of Defense - radar-absorbing nanoparticles; the Department of Energy - semiconductor nanoparticles for high-efficiency solar cells; and the University of Colorado Cancer Center - ultra-high sensitivity detection… Show more -Developed nanotechnology-based medical imaging materials; conducted research in collaboration with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and Alexis Pharmaceuticals (formerly Taligen Pharmaceuticals)-Developed other novel materials for research funded by: the Department of Defense - radar-absorbing nanoparticles; the Department of Energy - semiconductor nanoparticles for high-efficiency solar cells; and the University of Colorado Cancer Center - ultra-high sensitivity detection of cancer antigens using nanoparticles.-Dissertation: “Bioengineered iron-oxide nanocrystals: Applications in magnetic resonance imaging” Show less

-Designed an entire electromechanical subsystem at both the part and assembly level and managed the sub-system project until pre-alpha release. Successfully met the project deliverables and milestones while coordinating several internal departments (engineering, quality assurance, purchasing) and the sub-system supplier/assembler.
