• Develop a novel method for producing synthetic rutile from ilmenite for use in fluidized bed processes associated with the Kroll process for synthesizing titanium.• Utilize the ARH process to take titanium ore in the form of ilmenite and produce low-cost titanium dioxide powder. • Utilize the HAMR process to produce low-cost, low-energy titanium and titanium alloy powders from a titanium dioxide starting material.• Run characterization equipment such as SEM, XRD, TGA, EDS, etc in order to characterize powdered and solid samples.

• Perform continuous improvement research to optimize titanium powder production at a pilot plant scale with industrial scale application. • Manage a team of 2-4 people working on a pilot scale titanium powder production facility capable of producing 50kg of powder per week. • Participate in projects related to demonstration and commercialization of GSD, HAMR and other key technologies • Contribute to process and research engineering on the material review board • Support QMS initiatives

• Compiled studies related to fluid flow in nanoporous shale around oil wells and in nanoporous silicon particles. • Provided summaries of the studies and added analysis of techniques, methodology, and conclusions in each study.• Completed an 81-page final document that is accessible by the research group for referencing in an ongoing silicon flowthrough experiment.

• Communicated with parents as issues arose and mitigated conflict.• Planned and executed weekly activities for a group of 10-12 children.• Engaged children in active learning by encouraging them to reflect after activities.
