NanoBio Systems Lab — Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringDeveloped technique to mitigate satellite droplets in droplet microfluidic systems, contributing to the broad field of biotechnology. I designed interdigitated electrodes on the micron-level to perform size-based filtration of microfluidic droplets, and fabricated the electrodes and microfluidic chips in a cleanroom, using methods such as soft lithography and photolithography. The coolest part of fabrication was using an electron beam gun to spray individual gold atoms onto my electrode substrates! I presented this research at the Texas A&M Undergraduate Research Symposium and published a thesis at the Texas A&M Libraries.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States

Designed instrumentation to avoid recurring shutdowns of a unit costing up to $200k every 3-6 months. Kickstarted development of a site electrical model for the plastics plant using SKM and leveraging global engineering resources. The model will increase accuracy of arc flash studies, reduce safety risk to technicians, and put the site at an advantage for expansion.Learned electrical infrastructure and chemical engineering processes of 6 different low-density polyethylene production lines.Worked collaboratively with electrical, chemical engineers and operators to monitor plant equipment in real time. Worked alongside electricians to gain familiarity with equipment and machinery, troubleshoot issues, and observe repairs/replacements.

Texas A&M University

Led a team of 10 multi-disciplinary engineering students through the design of a solar charging station to be placed on Texas A&M's campus. Spearheaded funding efforts and achieved a major grant of $6000 from the Aggie Green Fund. The project is an outdoor table equipped with solar panels, receptacles and concealed power devices including a deep cycle Li-ion battery, pure sine wave inverter, charge controller, and remote monitoring system. Producing up to 2000 watts per day, it is capable of charging up to 4 devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops simultaneously. It is projected to offset over 1000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
