Collected and analyzed transient kinetic gas phase reaction data across industrial catalysts (CrOx/Al2O3, Ga-Ox, and Bi-Mo-O) using Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP). Focused on the investigation of intermediate reaction mechanisms in the propane dehydrogenation process as well as acrylonitrile and acrolein production.

Synthesized lanthanide free permanent magnets based on Mn-Al-Ga alloys with induction furnaces followed by annealing procedures to optimize ferromagnetic L10 τ-phases Characterized Mn-Al-Ga based alloys with XRD, SEM, EDX, and VSM to determine present phases, crystallographic structure, grain structure, chemical composition, and material magnetic propertiesManaged laboratory operations which included equipment maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, material procurement, and experiment design for pressure and vacuum systems, annealing and induction furnaces, etc.
