Managed project scope, schedule, cost, and resources of multiple end-of-line (EOL) tester programs to ensure on time initial NPI launch of industrial energy storage and vehicle charging products at production linesCoordinated design team interface to supply chain and suppliers, to ensure all designs have optimal supply chain management and ramp plan for on time assembly and delivery of EOL testersFacilitated communication and collaboration within cross-functional teams of design engineers, build and launch technicians, and software engineers

Lead a diverse team of 50 graduate and undergraduate students in a 4-year project of design, integration, testing, and documentation of a hybridized 2019 Chevrolet Blazer Directed the schedule and task management strategy using agile methodology to improve quality and rate of completion of all deliverables and goalsEmployed FMEA risk management strategies to mitigate unexpected challenges faced to adhere to the planned schedule, scope, and budget

Researched previous methods of cancer detection during biopsies to find methods to increase accuracy in detecting cancerous cells within samples via RNA-based reactions Conducted experiments to develop a novel procedure to achieve proper detection while reducing the required sample size Gathered data by operating fluorescent microscope, interpreted research findings, and summarized data by using MatLab to analyze images to convey experimental findings into figures to be published in Nature Methods

Created and scheduled various experimental procedures to conducted basic and applied research on the effects of turbid particles in aquatic ecosystems on the health, growth, and chemical change of aquatic plants samplesCollected data by using a turbidity meter, operating a zeta-sizer to analyze samples to measure water chemistry, electro-negativity, and particle size, and documenting each plant's uptake of turbid particles by comparing surface area and weight before and after experiments to determine turbidity’s impactInterpreted research findings and summarized data with Microsoft Excel and statistics software and presented findings via Microsoft PowerPoint for the internship final presentation and to be used for further research
