Use in situ Bragg coherence X-ray diffraction experiments to probe nanoscale defect evolution. In particular I'm looking at how defects evolve in stainless steel after Hydrogen charging and general corrosion.

Oxford, United Kingdom

Currently a lab demonstrator for P5 Computing Laboratory, a first year undergraduate class, for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic year. I'm responsible for assisting students should they have difficulty coding, as well as marking lab assignments.

Oxford, England, United Kingdom

I am a teaching assistant for B8 Materials, a third year undergraduate class, for the 2020-2021 academic year. I am responsible for planning and teaching tutorials, as well as marking homework.

Oxford, United Kingdom

I was a teaching assistant for B6 Equilibrium Thermodynamics, a third year undergraduate class, for the 2019-2020 academic year. I wasresponsible for planning and teaching tutorials, as well as marking homework.

Berkeley, Ca

Marked homework and exams for MSE 45, an introductory class for materials science and engineering.

San Leandro, California

I was introduced to two project management methodologies--Scrum and Kanban--and managed a project using each method. I served as a Scrum Master for PI Developers Club's second release (a subscription-based website), facilitating daily stand-up, backlog refinement and task breakdown meetings. Kanban was used for Microsoft CRM enhancements, where I also facilitated weekly Kanban board update meetings with CRM developers. To document the process of becoming a new project manager, I created a project management transition process for future new project managers. As a side project, I successfully planned an intern lunch outing for about 40 interns.

Coming in with no web design experience, I was able to create a Web App for the Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART). For the back-end, I created a console application in C# to create .txt files from the BART API. These files were read by an interface and put into a PI Server in the form of PI points. Using PI Asset Framework, these PI points were organized into train elements. with the PI Web API, I was able to use these elements for my front-end, which consisted of Typescript with and Angular2 framework, HTML and CSS. Although there are still improvements to be made and bugs to be fixed, I feel like I have accomplished a lot in my three months.

Berkeley, California

As an intern, I measured black carbon concentrations using a transmissometer and uploaded the data into a database. I also updated the formulas to calculate the concentrations of the filters. Outside of data manipulation, I updated and tested firmware on new air quality measuring devices and reviewed and edited consulting reports that dealt with foreign household cook stoves. Furthermore, I updated firmware on the new PATS+ air quality monitoring devices and constructed calibration boxes for them.

Bay Point, California

I interned in the Materials Management group at Henkel Adhesive Technologies - Aerospace. Over the summer, I wrote a VBA program to assign unallocated inventory in the warehouse—either ship them to be down packed, relabel them, allocate them or send them to the marketing department to generate sales. I created another VBA program that was used to generate a report of late orders for supply chain planners, which became permanently implemented in the department. Outside of programming, I completed an A3 problem solving project to fix incomplete film production runs, thereby reducing backlog orders. Furthermore, I learned how to use SAP (P62—Production Logistics) to extract and provide information throughout the plant and went through mandatory safety training in the production facilities.

My project was the optimization of exposure time, LOR bake time and LOR bake temperature in the bilayer photolithography process, a technique used in microfabrication of semiconductors. The goal was to find the best conditions that would yield a pattern with the smallest fine features possible, which would give rise to the possibility of creating smaller nano devices. Specifically, these patterns were being made for a nano gas sensor that specifically detects carbon dioxide and methane. In the end, a process that produces 3µm fine features was achieved. However, if given more time, the procedure would be refined to make it more repeatable.

Three Dot Labs was a high school student operated social enterprise that strived to connect the customer to the company and to the community. The products, which were movie gift packages and Valentines Day candy jars, were sold to create an unforgettable carnival experience for underprivileged youth in the Thorncliffe neighbourhood of Toronto. From establishment to liquidation, Three Dot Labs was a Junior Achievement Company, sponsored by Deloitte.Specifically, my responsibilities included preparing monthly incoming statements and balance sheets. My daily tasks included bookkeeping, such as keeping track of all the accounts payables, accounts receivables, assets, revenues, expenses and shares. I was also constantly looking for ways to minimize costs, which included finding cheaper raw materials and cheques.
