Research Topic: reactive dividing wall distillation columns Advisor: Dr. Bruce Eldridge• Researched reactive dividing wall columns to determine commercial potential.• Designed and carried out bench-scale phase equilibria and kinetics experiments.• Built and conducted experiments using a lab-scale reactive distillation column and a reactive dividing wall distillation column. Developed validation models using AspenPlus®.

• Assisted with industry-sponsored projects on the unique pilot plant facilities of The University of Texas at Austin’s Separations Research Program, prior to graduate school.• Operated glass lab-scale distillation columns, designed and built technical pilot plant modifications, analyzed plant data.

Kingsport, Tn

• Designed and executed experiments using an autoclave reactor to determine the reaction kinetics and phase equilibria of a novel heterogeneous system. • Performed lab-scale, heterogeneous reactive distillation experiments to test the system’s viability.

Hard Particle Ordering, January 2015 - May 2016 • Investigated hard particle ordering in condensed phases. • Ran Monte Carlo simulations of binary hard sphere mixtures in C.Computational Fluid Dynamics, December 2015 - May 2016:• Participated in a research group based in the Department of Chemical Engineering that engaged in experimentation and education relating to computational fluid dynamics.• Created simple, interactive Navier-Stokes simulations in C++ that could run in real-time for educational purposes.

• Worked within the Enterprise Process Management office of NSRDEC, the leader in the US Army’s campaign to assure the decisive material edge for the 21st century warrior.• Learned, observed, and helped implement key concepts and practices of business process management, as well as lean six sigma and systems engineering through improving processes involving technology transfer and human resources.
