I work as a teaching assistant for the class Transport I, which is a class in the Chemical Engineering core covering energy and momentum transport. My role consists of interfacing with students in weekly office hours, grading student submissions, and providing continual feedback to the professor for course improvement.

Perform research on polymers that can be integrated into membranes and facilitate the transport of carbon dioxide gas across it. This is tested on a nitrogen/carbon dioxide gas mixture to model its effectiveness at sequestering carbon dioxide from flue gas.

I worked as the Technical Co-Op at the Appvion Pulp and Paper Plant in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania for a two-term cooperative education experience. Appvion is an international company that produces specialty-coated paper products, and the location where I will be working at houses the entire process that turns raw timber into a final paper product. As the Technical Co-Op, I was responsible for leading and supporting a variety of safety, quality and cost reduction projects. I assisted process engineers and operations with trials and new product development, and I collected and analyzed data for decision-making and troubleshooting.
