- Designed and ran a multivariate study to evaluate the effects of test parameters for a product release test in order to maximize test efficiency, precision, and resource usage- Became comfortable with the use of data mining and analysis to generate valid conclusions using MiniTab techniques - Learned about membrane casting theory, and practiced membrane casting at manufacturing scale-Assisted in membrane casting, testing, data collection and analysis for multiple rounds of production as part of a successful new membrane product qualification. This work consisted of many full days in the membrane casting room, running various tests on many different membranes, and developing process capability charts- Communicated effectively with engineers and technicians from multiple teams in order to maximize usage of important testing equipment without impacting production processes. This equipment included bubble point testers, flow time testers, and thickness gauges- Developed problem-solving skills to adapt to equipment/tester problems- Presented key conclusions to upper-level engineers that were discussed and accepted, then met with upper-level engineers and managers to discuss implementation plans

- Maintained cell lines for discovery team - Produced lentivirus and engineered, sorted, and banked cell lines to support discovery programs- Generated reporter cell lines expressing TCRs and performed cell based assays to screen T-Cell receptors for cell therapies- Characterized cell lines with flow cytometry (4 color, Penteon)- Performed and generated cellular dose response curves and calculated EC50- Maintained inventory of essential reagents and banks in LIMS (Benchling) and recorded experimental details in an ELN- Attended and participated in departmental and team lab meetings- Presented key findings and results to stakeholders

For the past six years, I have officiated youth soccer games in New Milford, CT, as a licensed CJSA referee. This position can be stressful, as parents and coaches are prone to yell at your decisions that they deem as wrong; however, with enough confidence, refereeing youth games can be a lot of fun and rewarding.

Brazil

This study abroad trip lasted roughly 1 month and I learned about various sustainable energy systems. I took chemical engineering courses on this trip, and we also visited many renewable energy plants. This included a hydroelectric dam, a nuclear power plant, a biofuel plant, and more. There was also a final project for this trip, were I researched, designed, and presented possible solutions with a team for a Brazilian energy company (CPFL) to reduce wood usage and waste in their company.
