• Led the “ground-up” development of a novel polymer coating formulation, increasing performance by over 300% compared to incumbent technology. Patented this discovery, working with lawyers to draft, write, and submit.
• Identified and selected key vendors, consultants, and manufacturing partners to achieve a materials cost reduction of 79%.
• Down selected a diverse group of polymers (epoxies, polyurethanes, acrylics, fluoropolymers) and performed rapid DOEs to test efficiency and compatibility with substrates.
• Ensured adherence to ISO and ASTM standards, doubling material lifetime and durability through detailed RCA and LCA.
• Optimized and streamlined coating processes (spray, dip, drawdown), ensuring rapid, efficient, and reliable coating production.
• Acted as the primary scientific liaison for VC firms during critical fundraising rounds, aiding in securing project funding.

Eugene, Oregon Area

• Pioneered the synthesis and scale up of novel metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles/nanocrystals (<50 nm) and polymer composites to study mechanisms of charge transport, in addition to water purification.
• Developed characterization techniques using UV-vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry to quantify discrete charge accumulation in nanomaterials.
• Targeted materials search for new candidate particles for water purification and gas selection membranes.
• Led and managed international and national project collaborations between labs, resulting in publications.
• Ensured safe handling and disposal of hazardous waste as a lab safety officer of 10-15 members.Courses taught:
