Researched the autoignition temperatures (AIT) of pure compounds for AIChE's DIPPR 801 DatabaseImproved the reliability of AIT values in the 801 Database through evaluating data from 600+ sourcesFilled gaps in the 801 Database by measuring AIT for 17 pure compoundsDesigned and constructed an experimental apparatus at ~ 10% of the expected capital costIncreased reliability and throughput of AIT measurements by automating aspects of the experimental processWrote custom software to automate data acquisition and analysis using Python and C/C++Brokered the release of a previously closed-source AIT prediction method for publicationImproved the method by relaxing assumptions, improving regression data quality, and expanding applicabilityMentored 20+ undergraduates focusing on safety and relevant laboratory skillsTeaching assistant for undergraduate courses on "Chemical Plant Design" (3 times) and "Numerical Methods"
