Pasadena, California, United States

Discovery of next generation battery materials.

Eugene, Oregon Area

• Pursuing photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution research in the Boettcher Lab - specific emphasis on understanding of the energetic losses associated with semiconductor | catalyst | solution interfaces. • Computationally modeling the semiconductor | catalyst interface in 1D via Mathematica & Python and in 3D via COMSOL multiphysics. • Routinely use and well versed in various (photo)electrochemical techniques, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), thermal/E-beam deposition methods, SEM, photolithography techniques, optical/contact profilometry, X-ray photoelectrocron Spectroscopy (XPS), clean room techniques, and solar cell & electrode fabrication approaches. • Trained on and proficient with TEM, small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), and x-ray diffraction (XRD).

Richland/Kennewick/Pasco, Washington Area

• Contributed to six separate works on topics including quantum dots, biofouling, and trace analyte detection. • Trained on chemical detection methods including Brunauer-Emmet-Teller, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis, Ion –Mobility Spectroscopy, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization, and HNMR. • Coordinated multidisciplinary efforts while optimizing surface chemistries for low surface energy anti-biofouling.

Berkeley, California

Worked under Dr. Tsu Jae King. • Tasked with independent research to investigate the radiation hardness of micro-electromechanical relays. • Created a mathematical model for this phenomenon and compared it to measured degradation after the devices had been run through a particle accelerator. • Presented to peers in Berkeley and to the ACS regional committee in Chico, Montana, on micro-electromechanical devices. • Wrote a senior thesis based on this work.
