• Simulated an entire waste-to-chemicals plant (from feedstock to final product) and carried out optimization and sensitivity studies • Developed a process simulation to validate pilot plant data • Ran dynamic simulation cases on Aspen HYSYS to validate the process design• Developed a nomenclature system for internal documents• Designed a distillation column on Aspen Plus• Created mass and energy balances• Participated in a hazard identification (HAZID) assessment• Designed and reviewed process flow diagrams• Trained colleagues

• Designed and carried out lab experiments to transfer a new production process from R&D to commercial setting• Detected problems and improved process robustness with automation, equipment maintenance and calibration• Kept track of inventory and planned purchases of equipment and raw material• Trained other employees on the production process and shot instructional videos • Wrote technical documentation such as reports, memos, and SOPs• Travelled frequently to the supplier's site

• Designed an Ibuprofen production process• Created process flow and piping and instrumentation (P&ID) diagrams on Microsoft Visio• Contributed to hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) • Researched literature on the production of Ibuprofen• Wrote reports and prepared PowerPoint and poster presentations

• Synthesized and tested resins following standard operating procedures• Analyzed date with Excel and Statistica programs• Wrote a report and presented the findings to the group • Improved data entry spreadsheet by adding pivot tables, hyperlinks, and if conditions decreasing data analysis time by 50%• Carried out laboratory and office safety inspections

• Prepared and extracted samples following Environmental Protection Agency procedures • Organized and cleaned the laboratory to ensure safety and efficiency• Adapted to constantly changing priorities in a team environment
