Camas, Wa

-Worked on synthesis and deposition of nanomaterials -Nanomaterial characterization

Corvallis, Oregon Area

-Worked on a multidisciplinary team to develop a microwave-assisted reactor for synthesis of nanomaterials (U.S. Patent Application No. 61/921,229)-Developed solution based synthesis techniques for nanoparticles, and studied effects of process conditions on nanoparticle size, composition and morphology.-Studied thermal oxidation, and diffusion in sputter deposited metallic glass thin films.-Maintained lab equipment including troubleshooting vacuum, electrical and mechanical systems.

Corvallis, Oregon Area

-Developed synthesis, functionalization, and deposition methods for nanomaterials. Including batch and continuous flow ligand exchange on PbSe nanoparticles.-Supported multiple ongoing research projects, scheduled group meetings, delivered weekly status reports, and purchased equipment and chemicals for the lab.

-Led a team of 4-8 student testers in order to provide quality assurance testing for computer networking hardware and software. -Wrote, followed and updated standard procedures for testing, and provided detailed bug reports to clients in order to find the root cause.-Worked to create an online training site and knowledge wiki, which reduced the time needed to train new student testers.
