• Achieved high quality software through regression testing and identified over 800 bugs on the BlackBerry and desktop platforms for the customer relationship management software
• Created and updated test plans tracking changing functionality to maintain software quality
• Investigated BES application version handles to improve compatibility with software and directed functionality recommendations
• Collaborated with developers to investigate bugs and trained quality assurance analysts to use the software on the BlackBerry platform as well as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES)
• Managed the upgrade of the company’s BES 4.6 to BES 5.0

• Synthesized over 40 novel cathode materials in a 4-month timeline oPerformed A-site and B-site doping of the Ruddlesden-Popper structure with Co, Fe, Cu, Na, and K using Pechini and Glycine:Nitrate processes
• Characterized fabricated cathodes using various techniques: oX-ray Diffraction to assess purity and determine cell constants oPotentiometric iodometric titration for oxygen content determination oFour-point probe.
• Presented project goals and results at the start and end of the coop term respectively
• Wrote a summary report for the work term entitled “Novel Cathode Materials for Intermediate Temperature Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells”

-Performed colloidal synthesis of copper nanoparticles that were characterized using transmission electron microscopy-Renovated the lab by building HEPA filter racks, cable tray system, and a sliding wall using Unistrut components to suit the laboratory's requirements-Created custom parts in machine shop to assist in stability of Unistrut structures.
