Worked in the environmental engineering section of the downstream research and engineering company. As an intern, I developed a highly automated tool to optimize the flow through one of our refinery's demineralization facilities. I also collaborated with refineries and chemical plants on a global scope to identify future projects designed to mitigate profit losses due to un-optimal handling of environmental permit limits.
