* Supported core product development with expertise in chemical engineering, materials science, failure analysis, root cause analysis, and antimicrobial research. * Developed new products as part of a team to expand the waterproofing and antimicrobial business, including antimicrobial screen protectors, opaque antimicrobial film development, UV-reflective films, antimicrobial sutures, antimicrobial composite materials, and the Electroclave UV-C disinfection cabinet* Managed engineering team antimicrobial projects for outside clients, including material recommendations, material testing, and manufacturing optimizations.* Collaborated with Tulane University to conduct studies of UV-C dose-response for SARS-CoV-2* Led engineering team for ElectroClave development while VP Technology was in rehabilitation for serious injury, including a rapid study of UV disinfection of N95 facemasks during the first-half of 2020 to extend the PPE supply line in New York City.* Assisted hospitals in conducting joint hand hygiene and ElectroClave studies to improve disinfection protocols.* Prepared science-based, research-driven whitepapers for sales and marketing to present to clients demonstrating various qualities of Seal Shield products. * Interfaced with external businesses including STERIS, PDI Healthcare, Diversey, and UV Angel to execute projects on product compatibility and joint new product development.* Worked with engineering team to launch SmartSheets for project management tracking which is now being leveraged across the entire organization.* Researched new antimicrobial applications using novel materials.* Led internal team and consultant grantwriter to submit SBIR proposal to NSF for ElectroClave development.

* Conducted research into reformulation of an oil-based food additive for improved poultry growth.* Directed testing program to achieve EPA registration of an antimicrobial product required for mass production and sales. * Directed efforts to achieve regulatory compliance in the EU and Canada and addressed particle technology issues and safety issues for a cosmetic product start-up company. * Prepared and edited technical communications documentation and manuals for a power plant.* Analyzed and researched legal argumentation and precedent for a law office.* Taught technical writing skills in a start-up education company.

* Directed research and development efforts for industrial-scale continuous flow microwave reactor technology in multiple fields including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, advanced nanomaterials, polymer synthesis, and personal care products. * Developed and executed research program incorporating graphene in polyesters to make tunable optical and acoustic films and structural composites. * Interacted regularly with potential clients to pitch them on projects involving continuous flow microwave reactor systems. * Secured and completed a client project to synthesize a nanoparticle product for clinical dental use.

Worked on the ground-breaking Pharmacy-On-Demand project as part of a multi-disciplinary team doing continuous flow chemistry for API synthesis. I assembled drug molecules at the click of a button, designed an in-line membrane pervaporation module, and helped develop means of 3D printing porous metals.

Director of Music* Planned/led church services and managed church worship team on a weekly basis. * Managed church office processes to create printed church communications. * Hosted training seminars for leaders and supported church ministries.

* Co-lead of process development for proprietary additive manufacturing (3D Printing) platform.* Developed intellectual property for novel applications of proprietary unique state of matter to new products and processes.* Created and analyzed COMSOL and Microwave Studio simulations for plasma annealing, heat transfer, and fluid flow.* Developed cost models and qualified customers/partners to support business processes.* Co-lead of fundraising, accounting, and business development activities.

I completed my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in Professor Don Paul's lab. I participated in the Center for Nano and Molecular Technology (CNM) and the Texas Materials Institute (TMI). I won multiple awards for my research from the North American Membrane Society and UT-Austin.

Summer intern, May to August in 2003, 2004, and 2005.* Developed sensor technology with team setting resulting in an invention disclosure (2008). * Design a scale-up process with team resulting in an invention disclosure (2005).* Designed classified instrumentation resulting in an invention disclosure (2003). * Performed thermal analysis of polymeric materials, polymer synthesis experiments, and physical aging studies. * Lead analytical lab activities during summer leave of absence by senior scientist.* Presented results to senior engineers and executives at the end of each summer.* Gained “Q” clearance in U.S. Department of Energy (now expired)* Obtained Six-Sigma Green Belt Certification during internships

This was my first internship as an undergraduate. I worked as a lab technician most of the summer, but did some work in industrial hygiene as well.* Obtained, prepared, and tested samples of soil and rocks for radioactivity. * Reported analytical lab data and provided engineering support to senior scientists. * Lead general lab activities for radioactivity analysis.
