West Valley, Ut

- Developed processes and formulations to support the manufacture of reagents for FDA regulated in vitro diagnostic devices and provided support for R&D during the development of new reagent formulations. Wrote and reviewed controlled documents such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), validation plans, validation reports, and specifications.- Lead technology transfer between R&D and manufacturing, utilizing Six Sigma and lean manufacturing principles to optimize processes by increasing throughput and reducing waste.

Gothenburg, Sweden

Conducted experimentation to determine the efficacy of binding a radioisotope and a small molecule, designed to target Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen, for treatment of prostate cancer. Data analysis, using Matlab, was conducted to determine which portions of the process have the most significant impact on the binding efficiency.

Nancy Area, France

Lead a project to examine resin loaded microspheres as a potential precursor for nuclear fuel cells. Data was collected using thermogravimetry and a mass spectrometer in order to build a mathematical model, using Matlab, to determine the composition of the spheres as a function of the change in mass and composition of the exhaust gas.

Sendai, Miyagi, Japan

Developed and tested a metal oxide pH sensor for crevices of boiling water reactors. The sensor was placed in a pilot plant for three day increments to collect data relating to water conditions and voltage change. This data was used to create a linear regression model, in Matlab, of the pH as a function of the voltage change across the pH sensor.
