First Solar, Inc. provides solar energy solutions worldwide. The company operates through two segments, Components and Systems. The Components segment designs, manufactures, and sells solar modules, such as CdTe modules that convert sunlight into electricity for project developers, system integrators, and operators of photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems.

Lucintech LLC is a start-up company developing ultra thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules that are semi-transparent for use in building-integrated PV (BIPV) windows and PV automobile sunroofs.In charge of identifying, repairing, and documenting repairs to RF/DC sputtering vacuum system for completing large modules for next stage of start-up. Major problems were with a malfunctioning RF generator with matching network and the vacuum system. Diagnose malfunction by tracing electrical lines and a little ingenuity.Revise and wrote Standard Operating Procedures for the sub-module production.Currently, investigating cause for device defects causing device malfunction. Using Nd:YAG laser scribing with scanning electron microscopy and Zygo measurement systems at all stages of device fabrication to understand material growth as to when and where device defect form.

I am a graduate student researcher investigating various low cost methods to construct functioning solar cells under the guidance of Dr. Michael Heben. I have helped design and maintain the laser scribing system that I currently use for my research. My research focuses on laser scribing of various materials such as cadmium telluride, amorphous silicon, cadmium sulfide, and single wall carbon nanotubes. I have also researched and developed the ability to perform non-destructive laser processes that are used in material characterization. Laser beam induced current and voltage measurements as well as carbon nanotube processing are a few of the techniques I have researched and expanded upon. As the graduate student in charge of these projects, I am responsible for experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and presenting the information to the group leader.Through designing of these experiments, I have been exposed to various other film deposition techniques and material characterization techniques as well. I have performed film depositions through sputtering, spin coating, evaporation, and ultrasonic spraying. I have then tested the material properties of these films using spectrophotometry, SEM, FTIR, quantum efficiency, solar simulation, x-ray diffraction, and profilometry.

I am a member of Second Sole's professional racing team. This team travels to various professional races around Northwestern Ohio and bordering states. I have competed in four full marathons, Akron, Columbus, Toledo, and Boston placing 50th overall with a time of 2:26:45, and was first Ohioan in attendance.I have also competed in and won various other 10k and 5k races across the state of Ohio and Indiana.
