Developing and improving advanced membrane separation processes for water purification applications in power plant treatment and desalination.

Rockville, Md

I worked in the development of new polyphosphazenes for applications for the enhancement of drug delivery, shelf-life, and treatment effectiveness.

Notre Dame, In

My responsibilities include carrying out a collaborative research study with computer simulation groups for principles of pharmaceutical separation applications, leading a project with an industrial research company for biomedical studies, continuation of studies for a water purification from heavy metal contamination, teaching and overseeing undergraduate and high school researchers in the lab on related projects, and overseeing the move of the lab equipment and materials to a new location.

Notre Dame, In

My responsibilities included development of a reactive membrane platform for separations, the optimization of fabrication conditions for casting membranes, testing membranes for size selective separations, performing solid state reactions to modify the chemistry of the materials, performing adsorption studies on the materials for application testing, writing of manuscripts including four first author publications, editing and revising the work of other lab members for comprehensive and candidacy exams, working in collaboration with outside universities and companies on major projects, acting as a teaching assistant for four courses, training younger lab members on experimental techniques, successful completion of eight graduate level courses, and serving as a research mentor for 6 undergraduates, a high school teacher, and a high school student.

Morgantown, Wv

My responsibilities included information collection regarding various power production processes from online sources, compilation of data into brief documents containing pertinent information, and editing and revision of working documents from fellow engineers.

Morgantown, Wv

My responsibilities included meeting with student athletes, either one-on-one or with small groups, to aid in homework, review or teach concepts from courses, help prepare for examinations, and generally guide students through classwork. The classes I tutored for were in chemistry (general and organic), physics (mechanics and electrical/magnetism), mathematics (calculus 1 and 2), and chemical engineering (mass and energy balances and numerical methods).

Morgantown, Wv

My responsibilities included modeling the interactions of a pharmaceutical drug with a neural peptide in a molecular dynamics simulation software, performing binding energy calculations, and compiling a literature background and the study results into a formal research thesis.
