• Led development of newly emerging oxide-encapsulated electrocatalysts to achieve Department of Energy project objectives by improving catalyst selectivity from <40% to >95% for the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions• Presented analysis and prepared reports on key experimental findings, crucial to securing 2-years of additional Department of Energy funding, as part of a collaboration on Z-scheme photocatalysis with researchers at several universities and national labs• Developed novel analytical models using Python, MATLAB, and Excel to enhance the analysis of electrocatalyst performance by providing quantitative results for key performance metrics that were previously evaluated qualitatively• Provided mentorship on the theory, fabrication, characterization, and experimentation of oxide-encapsulated electrocatalysts to two students which led to their successful intellectual and experimental contributions to multiple abstracts and papers

• Directed project team in the design and implementation of a water dispersal system to prevent tunneling resulting in an 80% increase in cooling performance• Planned and conducted demonstrations of chemical engineering processing equipment to students (elementary to college level)

• Achieved greater than 90% cost reduction in the contamination analysis of automotive electronics by developing and implementing an in-house method of detection using ion chromatography.• Consulted with internal and external clients to identify failure mechanisms in their defective automotive parts by performing failure analysis investigations which helped over 20 clients successfully resolve their production defects
