• Investigated PbSe nanocrystal films for applications in thermoelectrics and photovoltaics• Wrote extensive experiment and data acquisition code in Labview to run hours-long temperature-controlled thermal conductivity experiments down to 77K and analyze the results.• Developed simulation and analysis code in Matlab for thermal conductivity, FET, cyclic voltammetry, photoluminescence mapping, and EDX experimentsConducted research as part of a Ph.D. program in Materials Science and Engineering. I ultimately decided that formal research is not what I want to be doing with my life, so I left the program to pursue other opportunities. I gained substantial experience in data analysis and coding, in addition to the fundamental science with which I was working.
