Leading the materials R&D team for Rapidia's innovative water-based metal 3D printing technology.Collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and materials engineers to advance product design and performance.Conducting scientific studies towards new material development and sintering process optimization.

R&D of a novel water-based metal 3D printing and sintering technology.Designed, executed, and analyzed numerous studies in formulations chemistry and powder metallurgy.

Mitacs Elevate industrial postdoctoral fellowship in collaboration with the MacLachlan group in the department of chemistry at UBC and Rapidia Tech Inc. The project focuses on an innovative water-based metal 3D printing process.

Carried out an 8 month research project on polymeric additives for water-based metal 3D printing feedstock formulations.

• Independently perform synthesis, purification, and characterization of compounds• Analyze results and assess their significance and discuss with supervisor regularly• Develop research projects and seek new directions by frequent literature review• Compose publications to describe our findings to the chemistry community• Assumed various responsibilities as senior PhD student to help lead the Williams lab: organizing weekly meetings, ensuring necessary supplies, chemicals, and glassware are always available in the lab, instrument maintenance and troubleshooting, and teaching and mentorship of undergraduate students and peers

• Total of 8 semesters of both theoretical and practical teaching• Developed and implemented weekly experiments with the instructor• Supervised and mentored students in performing organic synthesis experiments• Conducted weekly tutorial sessions for 120 students to review and clarify course material • Completed grading of exams and lab reports for up to 300 students in a timely manner while remaining fair and consistent

• Carried out a medium scale (10 g) synthesis of an organic dye molecule• Optimized reaction conditions to improve yields from ~ 65% to 95%• Delivered the final product, with full characterization and a technical report, by the deadline set by the client

• Collaborated with primary research scientists in the study of the correlation of structure and failure mechanisms of catalyst materials• Performed XRD and XPS analyses of transition metal oxide spinel samples to elucidate structural changes associated with use
