I am in my 5th out of 5 co-op rotations in Beauty Care R&D. I have rotated between Product Formulation, Technical Methods Development, and Products Research positions. Coop rotations last 12 - 22 weeks. Descriptions of my projects can be found below:Co-op Session 5: Imaging Method Development - Adapted and implemented advanced imaging techniques- Programmed image analysis algorithms for use on complex data setsCo-op Session 4: Formulation/Method Development - Developed test methods for surface texture with White Light Confocal Microscopy- Surveyed film and chemical imaging techniques such as IR imaging, SEM, and OCT Co-op Session 3: Formulation - Modeled chemical adsorption and interactions to guide formulation of hair colorants- Researched formula interactions as related to product stability and viscosityCo-op Session 2: Consumer Research/ Test Method Development- Enhanced understanding of relationship between hair parameters and consumer perceptions Co-op Session 1: Formulation - Created hydro-alcoholic foaming formulae for product development
