Identified factors in calcium carbonate crystal precipitation and growth critical to final product qualitySupported start up pilot plant operations using point source capture to turn CO2 into synthetic limestone to replace concrete aggregate and reduce the carbon footprint of construction materials

+ Collaborating with interdisciplinary carbon capture team to develop off-shore, stand-alone system for multi-gigaton/year CO2 removal from oceanwater+ Independently responsible for the creation, design, and execution of experiments to characterize calcium carbonate growth in basified seawater

+ Modeled air flow and heat transfer in ink cartridge nozzles using ANSYS CFX+ Designed study that used trackers to generate reliable data about environmental conditions experienced during shipping and analyzed their effects on product quality with JMP

+ Developed new catalyst structures to split water into hydrogen fuel and oxygen using sunlight + Analyzed optical and catalytic properties of thin metal films using SEM, EDX, ellipsometry, and electrochemical techniques+ Advanced to Perpall Speaking Competition Semifinals for excellence in technical presentations

+ Created prototypes and evaluated vendor software to support digital signage pilot program+ Led demonstrations of virtual reality technologies for executives, company partners, and visitors

+ Worked with Test & Evaluation group to improve project efficiency for program planning+ Earned Outstanding Performance, Attention to Detail, and Innovation Challenge Awards
