• Investigated the thermal behavior of polymer mixtures using statistical associating fluid theory with variable range interactions (SAFT-VR Mie).• Taught undergraduate thermodynamics lectures & tutorials on the use of ASPEN Plus in Thermodynamic problem-solving.

Houston, Texas

• Created a tool to automatically analyze trends of known and unknown losses from the material balances at each manufacturing plant and provide actionable insight of operational efficiency.• Conducted an analysis of feedstock volumes to evaluate variation between modes of transport – resulted in the negotiations to secure price cuts on purchased feedstocks and significant savings for TPC Group.• Automated the regression analysis of Isobutylene distillation column data used to update operational parameters, greatly increasing the efficiency of the process. • Effectively communicated goals and organized project meetings to ensure projects were completed on time.

Austin, Tx

• Led an Independent Research Project investigating the relationship between neuronal target projections and cell structural morphology in Prefrontal Cortical Cells.• Awarded Undergraduate Research Fellowship Award and Grant ($995) in Fall 2009• Responsible for the completion of 3D neuronal reconstructions essential to the lab group's Grant submission. • Accounted for statistical analysis on research datasets and created visual representations to highlight results. • Continuously reviewed background literature and recommended new strategies to quantify morphological differences found in neuronal populations.• Presented research findings and discussed future research directions during weekly lab meetings.

Austin, Tx

• Coordinated and spearheaded weekly peer study groups for the undergraduate Genetics course.• Collaborated with course professor to relay student feedback collated through study groups and offered insights on how to alleviate common course bottlenecks and pitfalls.

Texas Medical Center - Houston, Texas

• Contributed to the design of a clinical study protocol and diagnostic test for early detection of the Varicella Zoster Virus in the saliva of patients with Herpes Zoster.• Conducted PCR analysis on the saliva samples obtained from study participants. • Revised and edited the 'Parvovirus B19' section of a Clinical Virology publication.• Shadowed physicians during patient visits and surgeries. • Participated in clinical rounds and medical journal reviews with dermatology residents.
