• Participated in new hire orientation• Learned semiconductor process flow (14nm and legacy nodes)• Rotated through the following departments and became familiarized with their respective processes: Etch, Implant, Gas & Chemical Systems, and Process Integration Engineering

Delivered exceptional customer service in a bubble tea establishment by• Taking customer orders, handling monetary transactions, and assisting customers with any issues• Producing a variety of drinks in a fast-paced environment while maintaining the best food and health quality• Ensuring establishment met the highest standards of cleanliness and organization to increase customer satisfaction

• Analyzed the etch profiles of several etch processes by measuring various dimensions of the profiles, comparing the results to theoretical values, and proposing solutions to improve the profiles• Programmed a macro that compiled data from metrology tools to calculate etch rate statistics and develop etch rate within-wafer variation graphs to help operators better understand and control the process•Characterized the etch rate uniformity across wafer for several etch processes by examining the etch rate variations and identifying the likely causes for any abnormalities

• Conducted research in the application of a novel aramid nanofiber separator film and a novel electrolyte solution in structural supercapacitors that can provide mechanical and thermal stability along with energy storage • Quantified the ability of the aramid nanofiber film to retain the test electrolyte solution compared to conventional electrolyte solution in order to predict the film’s performance in the supercapacitor• Assessed the aramid nanofiber’s thermal degradation by conducting flame tests and recording, qualitatively and quantitatively, the film’s rate of burning with and without the presence of the electrolyte solution• Performed thermogravimetric analyses to identify the onset and peak temperatures of the aramid nanofiber film in order to quantitatively characterize the film’s thermal stability• Synthesized aramid nanofiber separator films in the lab through chemical reactions and vacuum filtration

• Validated 2 test methods by designing and executing multiple experiments, comparing the results with FDA standards, and writing reports that documented the validation process•Developed and validated forms to streamline alignment among the engineering, manufacturing, and quality departments for new product introduction• Produced daily reports that gathered information from the batch tracking and nonconformance management systems to identify nonconforming held batches

I was a part-time student worker with the Instrumentation & Electrical Team at the Central Utility Plant at Texas A&M University. My daily duties included the following:• Creating and editing electrical one-line diagrams in AutoCAD• Analyzing process and equipment data in Excel• Obtaining quotations for parts from various suppliers• Requesting new equipment and material for various projects

• Designed a process plan to improve catalyst removal efficiency in a scrubbing tower, correct fouling issues in a critical compressor, and save more than $500K per year in lost polypropylene sales• Calculated process capability statistics for all polypropylene grades using Minitab and utilized historical trends and nonconformance reports to determine the process areas that needed improvements• Identified more than 5 vessels with overpressurization hazard by analyzing how upstream, downstream, and ambient conditions affected the vessels

• Accounted the consumption of steam, nitrogen, and fuel gas using Excel and Visual Basic to track deficiencies, to identify problematic units or flow meters, and to save the company more than $100K per year in lost utilities• Identified locations of critical low pressure steam venting for the utilities technical team and collaborated with operators to limit the venting and save more than $50K per year in lost steam• Improved a legacy demineralization procedure at the refinery water treatment plant by indicating which valves and lines were in use during each step of the process and developing a clear standard operating procedure for operators
