• Determined thermophysical properties of heavy metal precursor mixtures to analyze their effects on flame spray pyrolysis to synthesize nanoparticles for applications such as, but not limited to, catalysts, gas sensors, and energy storage materials• Examined the spectra of one of the compounds used to create the precursor mixture with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in conjunction with Mnova• Increased purity through distillation as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy• Created figures and compared data using Python to show trends in thermophysical properties with varying compositions

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

• Improved safety documentation by revising the process flow diagram for the ammonia refrigeration system• Conducted daily inspections along multiple product lines to ensure quality standards were met• Designed and oversaw the installation of an upgrade to a piece of equipment to replace a deteriorated part which reduced the risk of a foreign containment and increased plant output in a process line by 20%• Oversaw the temporary cessation of operations and coordinated with quality engineers to ensure the product was minimally impacted when the facility encountered an electric phase loss• Maintained close contact with suppliers to ensure quality and reliability

Jeffersonville, Indiana, United States

• Coordinated data collection with the field maintenance team to investigate systemic issues of the maintenance program• Identified equipment to add to the preventative maintenance schedule to reduce the number of breakdowns
