• Purchased a bar and restaurant in a heavy tourist region and implemented costs saving protocols along with revenue increasing changes in order to boost profits from an average of $508/month to $5,471/month.• Oversaw and managed daily operations with an average of 25 employees working under me.

Greater New Orleans Area

- Designing new silicon nano-composites for use in lithium ion battery anodes and synthesizing these materials. Then I use battery data such as cycle retention and capacity to make process improvements.- Using analytical tools such as TGA-DSC, Raman, FT-IR, XRD, TEM, and SEM to characterize silicon nano-composites.

Hayward, Ca

- Investigated impact of additives on flow battery's electrolyte stabilization in order to choose the additive and concentration for optimal performance.- Ran battery cycling experiments, analyzed the samples collected through various analytical means, and wrote Python scripts to grab and organize the data collected.

Ann Arbor, Mi

- Co-authored a publication about the industrial applications of electrochemical deposition of micro-wire arrays for batteries and their performance in such devices.- Analyzing the effects of the morphology of germanium micro-wires on the battery’s capacity using potentiostats, a plasma etcher, strong acids and various standard lab equipment to discover specific criteria for an optimal battery cell.

Kalamazoo, Michigan Area

Analyzed the effects of catalyst and promoter concentrations on 65 different plastic media recipes’ set times for use in future process improvements by creating small hand batches of plastic media in a lab and creating trendlines for the times in Excel.Updated the training manuals for media production to reflect current factory practices.

- Researched protein dynamics of a helping protein and the communicative effects of the structure via computer simulation to predict possible areas for drug therapy targets.- Helped analyze the data to find specific motions of the protein that can be manipulated to regulate the protein’s role, which has been implicated in both cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
