Experienced professional with a strong background in engineering and materials science, specializing in automation, optimization, and nanomaterials. I am driven by a passion for leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches to drive impactful solutions in complex projects.At Exxon, I successfully led a team of operators in automating and optimizing an oil testing rig. By streamlining the rig and reducing its footprint to a quarter of the original size, I significantly enhanced efficiency and productivity. I also implemented oil condition sensors, including IR, viscosity, and conductivity, to provide real-time data for informed decision-making. Through effective communication with vendors, I ensured timely equipment procurement and seamless project execution. Additionally, I presented my research findings to a diverse audience of over 50 colleagues and superiors, highlighting the tangible benefits achieved.During my tenure at the Drexel Nanomaterials Institute, I focused on the synthesis of MXenes. Using my expertise in etching and delamination techniques, I achieved remarkable results in increasing MXene flake size by 500% compared to the standard size. Moreover, I optimized synthesis conditions for Ti3C2 MXene, enhancing the material's properties and applicability. Working with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, including high-speed centrifuges, vacuum filtration setups, DLS zetasizers, and UV spectrometers, I ensured precise and accurate measurements. My commitment to safety and meticulous handling of hazardous chemicals, such as hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid, was instrumental in maintaining a secure work environment.As an adaptable and results-oriented professional, I thrive in collaborative environments, driving interdisciplinary initiatives and fostering effective teamwork. I possess strong problem-solving skills and a keen eye for detail, enabling me to identify optimization opportunities and devise innovative solutions. Continuously staying updated with emerging trends and advancements in the field, I remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in engineering and materials science.Let's connect to explore potential collaborations and discuss how my skills and expertise can contribute to your organization's success.
