Here I redesigned multiple previous experiments, reworked gas collection experiment for more reliable results, tested batteries, and analyzed data.

I conducted quality assessments and tests of several products; assisted in R&D of cost-effective products, strength-tested concrete materials, tested gravity and viscosity of admixtures and epoxy, and produced new color coatings for customer request.
