• Examined patent applications for statutory and regulatory compliance, conducted thorough searches of prior art and non-patent literature, and independently prepared written opinions for prosecution of patent applications• Efficiently managed a diversified docket of pending applications—including new, accelerated, amended, continued, and divisional applications—under a production-based system• Balanced needs of, communicated professionally with, and provided exceptional customer experience to all stakeholders of a patent application

• Performed complete single crystal diffraction analyses (including crystallization, data collection, and structure solution and refinement) of transition metal complexes and organic compounds spanning a large range of reactivity and stability for both internal and external clients• Consulted with internal clients to provide advice on best ways to prepare X-ray quality crystals• Maintained, managed, and trained new users to use the Bruker powder and single crystal X-ray diffractometers (including Mo rotating anode, Mo/Cu sealed tube, Ga MetalJet instruments) as well as the SEE Co. 57Fe Mössbauer Spectrometer• Served as Lab Safety Officer for the facility, assisted in design of radiation safety plans, and authored training materials for all instruments, including their standard operating procedures (sample SOP: go.osu.edu/mbsop and sample training materials: go.osu.edu/mbintro)

• Synthesized several air/moisture-sensitive Fe-based organometallic complexes relevant to E–H (E = B, Si, C) activation, nitrene transfer reactivity, and alkyne dimerization catalysis and applied these complexes toward the conversion of commodity feedstocks to value-added materials.• Studied the electronic structure, structure-property relationships, and reaction mechanisms of the aforementioned Fe complexesas well as strongly-correlated heterobimetallic phosphinoamide systems with DFT, TD-DFT, CASSCF, NEVPT2, DLPNO-CCSD(T), and NEB; wrote training materials for these calculations (e.g., go.osu.edu/comporganometchem)• Mentored undergraduate and early-career graduate students on laboratory techniques and computational methods

Designed and tested novel ink formulations for aerosol jet printing of microelectronic sensors and devices.
