Working out of Azenta's Indianapolis Gene Synthesis lab I identified critical areas of workflow that would benefit from automation or process improvement and collaborated with internal and external experts to find solutions.Implemented 8+ automated methods into the Gene Synthesis process, reducing the hands-on time for those processes by 80% by collaborating with automation developers, lab scientists, and equipment vendors.Provided a framework to lab personnel for improved sample storage which eliminated errors in tube identification for internal process and shipping of final products by leveraging internal products developed for customer sale.Developed an internal data tracking system reducing data entry by 80% for projected automation implementation by collaborating with internal developers, scientists, and subject matter experts to collect requirements, complete user acceptance testing, and train end users.

As a Senior Associate Scientist I focused on identifying opportunities for operational improvement and worked to build business cases for purchases of equipment or development of updates to existing software systems.I pursued training in Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma Green Belt to better drive my process improvement efforts.I then passed on these skills to coworkers, developing 10 experienced lab associate scientists that were able to use these skills to further their own lab projects.During this time I identified replacement dispensers for our aging fleet across all 7 Genetic Analysis sites that reduced down time for maintenance by 95% and removed the need for consumable parts.

I assisted research focusing on engineering various constructs of C. jejuni for research.I routinely worked independently and am proficient in numerous techniques common to molecular biology and microbiology, including cell culture, cloning, and PCR. I also independently maintained the laboratory to maintain efficiency, including cleaning glassware and work areas, preparing media, and autoclaving preparations and biologically hazardous waste.I needed to communicate my analysis of data and discuss results with other undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.
