• Use open-source software for fluid dynamics and discrete element modeling• Compile and analyze results using Python• Work with my advisor and peers to replicate real-world tests with virtual models• Independently use online resources and technical papers to learn and problem solve• Set research goals and take detailed notes on the effectiveness of different methods

- Materials characterization of thermoplastic composite- Analyze and present data with Excel- Work with a research partner to delegate tasks and collaborate- Thermoplastic and thermoplastic composite processing to create high-quality test samples

I worked in Dr. Bryon Larson’s organic photovoltaics group on scalable device fabrication. I worked to fully solution-process semi-transparent OPVs with slot-die coating. The bulk of my work was focused on solution-processing the back electrode and process-property relationships.

• Worked efficiently to complete a list of technical repairs each day• Developed my mechanical aptitude and attention to detail• Communicated with and guided customers to ensure their satisfaction** I did not work during the 2021-22 school year
