San Leandro, California, United States

- Performed 100+ cell teardowns to assess lithium plating in the cell- Utilized Python to manipulate large sets of cycling data and assess cell performance- established in-house quality spec for various quality tools

Eugene, Oregon, United States

Study of OER Catalyst Breakdown in AEM Electrolysis - Developed and executed testing procedures that utilize EIS, chronopotentiometry, and cyclic voltammetry to determine how mixed-metal oxide (Ni, Co, Fe) catalysts break down in anionexchange membranes- Hands on experience with ink creation and spray coating of electrodes, automation of effluent sample.

-Researched salt water battery electrolyte materials and developed a novel prototype

Cleveland, Ohio, United States

- Selected for the fellowship, directed towards experiential learning in the energy sector- Worked in a five-person start-up that researched the use of LIBOB to create fire retardant lithium-ion batteries and presented our product at various pitch competitions

Remote Entrepreneurship Practicum

- Working with another intern, performed a techno economic analysis of a plasma carbon dioxide splitting system in which we determined that the system was not economically viable- Researched alternate uses for the plasma technology involving integration of the system into existing technologies for potential use on Mars

- Worked directly with customers to size compressors for their midstream pipelines- Created an inventory of over 200 excess compressor cylinders using Excel which improved cost efficiency by reducing the number of new cylinders bought- Utilized AutoCAD to edit piping and instrumentation diagrams when compressors were modified
