■ Combined extensive engineering and cross-functional expertise to collaborate on a multi-faceted team■ Optimized processes by eliminating issues and leading the way on two Six Sigma projects for the company■ Successfully improved the filtration of grinding fluid, and created a validation tool to improve wash systems■ Minimized environmental impact by improving fluid application, thereby improving process productivity■ Selected as the co-lead investigator, working to identify the cause of plant chemistry problems with fluids/oils

Greater Philadelphia Area

■ Worked in the Systems Engineering Lab to perform extensive research into Model Predictive Control (MPC)■ Devised theoretical controllers/optimization schemes for polymerization processes and solid oxide fuel cells■ Simulated situations by utilizing software and programming packages, such as MATLAB, C, and Mathematica■ Strove to aid in the understanding of epileptic seizures by proposing novel modeling and control research■ Drafted and published three technical papers; Also, delivered an informative talk at the 2009 AIChE meeting

King Of Prussia, Pa

■ Immediately began adding value by designing a new system that enabled the blending of Forane refrigerants■ Led the updating of Profess Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)■ Orchestrated the full migration of the old blending station from a walk-in hood to the pilot plant floor■ Added static mixers, implemented scales with improved accuracy, and enhanced the layout of equipment■ Played a pivotal role in updating process safety mechanisms by implementing pressure relief valves

Greater Philadelphia Area

■ Enhanced the development of electrochemical grinding (ECG) technology by designing/executing experiments■ Accurately detected contamination the ECG process by analyzing samples via titration and HPLC■ Spearheaded the improvement of existing ECG technology by leveraging statistics in the design of experiments
