• Commercializing a process that converts unsustainable by-products of the dairy industry into high-value ingredients

• Assessing the feasibility of commercializing a green process that converts dairy industry by-products into value added chemicals

• Designed and modified products for lead engineer and customers using Dassault Solidworks• Ran 3D printer operations for quality assurance of products before approval for manufacturing

• Canceled due to uncertainty with COVID-19

• Researched, designed, ran, and modified experiments to chemically recycle PET bottles• Wrote a literature review to compile previous techniques for chemically recycling PET and plan for future experiments• Synthesized biomass-derived feedstock monomers for the polymers and fuels industries

• Researched, designed, ran, and modified experiments to accurately quantify amines and lead ions in perovskite solution in order to consistently reproduce materials with solar energy conversion properties• Explored new amines to link inorganic layers in perovskite structure and proceeded to synthesize each N-phase in an attempt to find new and useful properties• Worked on modified catalytic electrodes to enhance the kinetics of homogeneous redox reservoirs that have applications in decoupled water splitting• Used lab techniques such as UV-Vis spectrophotometry, SEM imaging, optical microscopy, centrifugation, CVD, XRD, CV, and PEIS

• Conducted a blender accuracy study to compare blending capabilities across production lines• Optimized a commercial film to increase production rate without compromising product integrity• Created a user-friendly PDF packaging book using Solidworks to improve packaging efficiency• Performed a coefficient of friction and line comparison study to identify production weak spots and reasons for undesired phenomena• Used lab skills and testing procedures including tear, coefficient of friction, seal, OTR, MTR, FT-IR spectroscopy, haze, secant modulus, tensile and elongation, SIT, and moisture content
