To develop tubular reactor simulation model with multiple steady states and adopt new control theory to stabilize the reactor• Identified the source of multiple steady state and instability observed in previous publications • Developed discretized tubular reactor model and solved numerical problems using MATLAB • Adopted new control theory in the simulation model in MATLAB to stabilize the reactor at the target

To model a purge distillation column operated in Dow Chemical Inc., Houston, TX, and propose a new control strategy• Communicated with control and process engineers to obtain process information and plant data• Developed the steady state model and dynamic model of the purge distillation column using ASPEN Custom Modeler • Designed new control strategy using cutting-edge theory to improve the current flooding problem

• Optimized coating thickness of NO donor by varying formulation of PVC and DOS • Monitoring NO releasing biopolymer under scanning electron microscope (SEM)• Tested protein adhesion by running with the in-house flow loop system using DI water and blood• Presented poster of project in CURC at Colorado State University in 2011 and 2012

• Facilitated activities at international student orientation.• Planned and marketed events for students throughout the semester.

• Assisted engineers creating, proofreading, and publishing standard operating procedures (SOP)
