Working in the Braun group on electrochemical lithium extraction techniques.https://braun.matse.illinois.edu/

∙ Completed automation project for Automated Visual Inspection tools: prototyped 3D printed alignment adapters, updated code of autonomous robot to load and unload lots with the correct sequence∙ Oversaw project to design and manufacture replacement part for UV erase tools: outlined material properties, worked with external vendors to identify cost effective material and manufacturing method∙ Utilized R, SQL Developer, and Spotfire to pull, normalize, and visualize prober error data from TI’s probe sites across the world to help management identify areas of improvement∙ Installed a new alignment camera and wrote a procedure with troubleshooting guide to allow technicians to complete the installation of remaining cameras

∙ Continuation of SULI work on novel microporous electrochemical separation technology∙ Focus on simulation work to remotely optimize the design and parameters of the separation technology∙ Collaboration with both Argonne scientists and PhD students from partner institutions

∙ Designed and ran experiments, wrote standard operating procedures, and analyzed data for a novel microporous electrochemical separation technology∙ Utilized powerful data collection tools including High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC)∙ Implemented sensors and automized experiments using a commercial smart home system∙ Optimized parameters to achieve a doubled separation performance of the separation technology∙ Presented findings in an oral presentation, poster presentation, and written scientific manuscript
