• Developed process flow, operational procedures, material/energy balance sheet for process operation, design, and optimization. • Worked with R&D team to develop effective and efficient scaling strategies to bring new products to pilot and production scale. • Collaborated with equipment vendors on system design, installation, and commissioning.• Troubleshot and repaired equipment and software malfunctions in the production system.• Supported the production plant’s technical staff by providing equipment training and operation guidance.

• Conducted experiments to advance direct recycling of LIB cathodes (LFP, LMFP, NMC). • Performed material characterization, testing and analysis using a varity of techniques.• Designed and specified prototype equipment for LIB materials processing and direct recycling process.

• Developed a lab-scale continuous flow system (>100bar, 300℃) from scratch to scale up the time-space yield of ZSM-5 by a 100-fold compared to existing hydrothermal autoclave reactor in the lab. • Achieved highly crystalline ZSM-5 structure in less than a minute in the continuous flow system as compared to conventional batch synthesis on the order of days• Optimized the mixing profile in the reactor through 3D CFD modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics
