While in AVL North America's Systems Application Engineering/Service group, I directly supported advanced emissions analytical instrumentation used in the development of new engine technology and after treatment systems to meet current and future governmental emissions requirements for on and off road vehicles. This included advanced support for FT-IR gaseous emissions as well as PM emission sampling including Partial Flow mass, Microsoot mass, and Particle number measurements. In this… Show more While in AVL North America's Systems Application Engineering/Service group, I directly supported advanced emissions analytical instrumentation used in the development of new engine technology and after treatment systems to meet current and future governmental emissions requirements for on and off road vehicles. This included advanced support for FT-IR gaseous emissions as well as PM emission sampling including Partial Flow mass, Microsoot mass, and Particle number measurements. In this position I also became the software development team lead for Aviation (turbine egines) Sampling System NvPM measurements as well as the World wide installation/commissioning/application support lead for these measurements.

I worked in the laboratory of Professor Gary Glick in the Chemistry Department at the University of Michigan characterizing the target binding site of a small molecule drug candidate with therapeutic bearing on autoimmune and inflammation disorders. The drug target I investigated is part of the mitochondrial ATP synthase and its mode of action bears on mitochondrial dependent apoptosis. A manuscript of our findings was published in a 2009 edition of Biopolymers.

I developed problem based learning (PBL) and process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) modules as substitutes for traditional lectures in introductory chemistry and advanced biochemistry courses. I also redesigned laboratory experiences to include discovery and research based methods directed toward scientific goals. I also worked closely with undergraduates engaged in research aimed at understanding the biophysical basis for DNA binding site selectivity in the process of gene… Show more I developed problem based learning (PBL) and process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) modules as substitutes for traditional lectures in introductory chemistry and advanced biochemistry courses.

Ph.D., Biochemistry

I trained with Professor John Lipscomb, a very well known enzymologist/kineticist. As a graduate student I designed and built my own.
