Synthesized zinc-based thermal stabilizers for PVC plasticization Synthesized epoxy thermosets from lignin and characterized its glass transition temperature

Synthesized model compounds for PET degradation studiesPolyamides study for machine learning project - Screened over 50 combinations - Synthesized ~ 15 polyamides

• Created systematic experimental procedure manual to investigate particle growth behavior of aerosol catalyzed by UV lights
• Monitored 12 hour long large-scale experiments and discovered negligible particle growth at near ambient light conditions
• Implemented open loop controls and sensors to monitor critical parameters such as humidity, temperature, and flowrates
• Reported findings and inquiries to principal investigator for feedback and changes system accordingly

Art of Engineering- Prepared weekly lab experiments for students that focused on the reaction kinetics behind laundry detergents via the breakdown of proteins with enzymes using casein and protease. Had students vary concentration and calculate rates of protein breakdown to produce the Michaelis-Menten saturation curve

Montrose, Colorado

• Reviewed over 4,000 abrasive wheel requirements, specifications and technical design documents
• Added value to facility and customers by identifying $50,000 worth of defective wheels before shipment
• Apply testing processes for new and existing products to meet client needs
• Tracked quality assurance metrics, like open defect counts to assist engineers in troubleshooting defective product

- Checked books in and out and organized them following a specific library classification system.- Helped patrons find books

Tucson, Arizona

• Analyzed the reflectivity of over 20 specimen using data reduction, image processing, and Mueller calculus
• Produced six color maps for each experiment to represent: polarization vectors and angle/degree of polarization from data
• Used a division-of-time polarimeter to capture the polarization states of surfaces

Assisted the team with practice, games, and administrative work. During practice, I was responsible for handling the shot clock and keeping score, bringing out equipment, keeping the athletes hydrated, and taking care of the laundry. For games, I was responsible for ensuring important equipment was packed, took video footage of the games, and ordered food.

• Created test plan and assisted in experiments that utilized polymer reactions to stabilize fluid instabilities.
• Developed and executed test procedures and characterized fluid flow at 3 thicknesses, 6 flowrates, and 5 reaction rates
• Analyzed and produced visually appealing representation of data to present at the APS conference

Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom

- collaborated with Dr. Katarina Novakovic of Newcastle University- performed optical tests to validate performance of a non-invasive reactor designed for biological modeling- monitored biocompatible oscillating hydrogel’s cycles Research under guidance of Dr. K. Novakovic and Dr. J. Parker. Results were presented at the 2017 Duke Colloquium Day.
