Koffolt Laboratories

Coordination and execution of experimentation to fulfill individual research project; analyze experiment data; develop mathematical models to predict and explain data; simultaneously educate undergraduate students on laboratory techniques to assist with data collection; additionally, served as laboratory safety officer responsible for safety criteria outlined by OSU EHS (Environmental Health and Safety).• Demonstrated proficiency working in team environments as well as autonomously.• Solved several engineering issues through development of programming functions and classes (i.e. Created numerical differentiation algorithm able to estimate derivatives at any point of function domain. Introduced sophisticated unit class for calculations eliminating confusion relative to units utilized; class utilized in nearly all other major programming classes to ensure unit consistency when executing calculations).• Developed several algorithms for thermodynamic calculations of humid air-water system able to accurately replicate charts published in books fundamental to chemical engineering field.• Utilized comprehensive subject knowledge as well as communications skills to clearly and concisely communicate relevant findings to scientific community.• Effectively accumulate and comprehend scientific research enabling formulation of basis for experimentation as well as metric of comparison.• Played instrumental role in provision of reports demonstrating project progress and satisfying requirements of grant funded by Department of Energy.• Elevated laboratory organization and performance by closely monitoring and adhering to supply inventory management procedures.

Assisted with bonding performance testing and experimentation specifically focused on development of predictive model determining adhesive performance after processing and storage; prepared and processed wood and adhesive bond testing; recorded stress application and failure results.• During internship, conducted hundreds of experiments with process conditions comprised by cooking time, cooking temperature, storage temperature and storage time; additionally, utilized table saws and band saws to cut wood for observation.• Contributions enabled management to develop and improve wood bond adhesive product through use of predictive model; additionally, demonstrated efficacy of product as failure occurred in wood effectively indicating adhesive bond strength.
