> Qualified an outsourced baseline process by root-causing defects, sources of variability, and downstream performance issues. Developing new process guidelines and refining product specs eliminated the primary defect and downstream performance issues. Worked with vendor to bring product in control and reduce product variability. Concurrently, determined.

> Key participant in a team effort to baseline a critical manufacturing process. Utilized experiment DOEs to determine fundamental process-structure-property relations and establish processing parameters. Company was able to scale up from a 11mm coin cell form factor to commercially-relevant form factor as a result.> Transferred mature process to.

Schenectady, NY

Investigated novel resin/fiber ceramic composite systems for use in aerospace and high-performance automotive applications. Typical end-use includes hot structures or frictional components. Studied structure-property relationship via materials characterization methods such as TGA, DSC, Instron tensile testing and X-Ray Diffraction. Developed technical.

Ithaca, New York Area

Helped design and audit a new undergraduate lab course MSE 3070: Materials Design Concepts I. Served as pathfinder before widespread implementation during Summer 2010. Collaborated with professors and other auditors before assuming teaching assistant position in Fall 2010. Supervised undergraduate students during lab work and processed samples for.

Ithaca, New York Area

Investigated diffusion properties of manganese orthosilicate single crystals in the Dieckmann Research Group. Contributed work resulted in four published papers. Conducted sol-gel synthesis, sample preparation, and single crystal growth on an image furnace. Authored successful grant proposal that lead to more than $6900 in funding from the Semiconductor.

Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area
