A nonprofit childcare organization on a mission to create accessible, flexible, and abundant spaces for children to play freely and grow in confidence.

Taught science and interdisciplinary computational courses in the online and residential programs. Both programs serve 11-12 grade students that come from all over North Carolina. In my role, I was granted the opportunity to teach Computational Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Green Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Research Experience in Computational Science, AP Chemistry, and Chemistry. As an instructor teaching in online, hybrid, and in-person format, I gained experience with curriculum design… Show more Taught science and interdisciplinary computational courses in the online and residential programs.

In my role, I was granted the opportunity to teach Computational Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Green Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Research Experience in Computational Science, AP Chemistry, and Chemistry. As an instructor teaching in online, hybrid, and in-person format, I gained experience with curriculum design, project-based learning, effective pedagogy, learning management systems, digital content management, teaching advanced software to novice learners, and much more. In addition, I also served on the faculty senate and as co-chair of the professional growth committee. As co-chair of the professional growth committee, I helped lead initiatives to create a new website, documentation and communication process, and an institution-wide conference. Show less

Assisted students in understanding educational material and holding weekly informational sessions to help with course material. Generated homework assignments and exam questions for undergraduate and graduate-level thermodynamics courses.

Implemented molecular dynamics and density functional theory techniques to investigate surface phenomenon. Designed an automated process for configuring software input files and initiating software calculations drastically decreasing preparation time. Engaged in a long-term collaboration with an industrial mentor to investigate the atomic layer deposition process of tungsten on silicon substrates. Assisted undergraduate and graduate research assistants to promote knowledge of computational… Show more Implemented molecular dynamics and density functional theory techniques to investigate surface phenomenon.

Responsible for delivering predictive computational solutions to engineering problems associated with deposition and etching processes. Simulation were performed on surface chemistry to characterize the fundamental surface interactions. Technical solutions were provided to guide and support critical projects across technology development in the area of materials selection and understanding of material properties along with estimating correlations between processing parameters and performance… Show more Responsible for delivering predictive computational solutions to engineering problems associated with deposition and etching processes.
