Golden, Colorado

• Lead team of 4 to perform technology transfer from benchtop to pilot scale production with ability to upgrade plant to full capacity.Led team of 5 to develop high precision, high accuracy thin film deposition process.
• Increased rolled yield from 23% to 98% | Process capability (Cpk) from 0.45 to 1.12
• Reduced process lead time (PLT) from 72 hours to 8 hours

• Utilized statistical analysis tools such as DOE and multivariable regression to elute root causes for numerous issues and successfully solve them
• Rapid progression to become an one of the highest skilled tape casting engineer in world through intensive literature review, breakdown of systems to fundamental levels, and trial-and-error
• Multiple successful developments of high-surface area tape casting systems unable to be completed by world-class tape casting consultants
• Designed and formulated over 32 unique tape casting slips/slurries including nitrides, oxides, LEDs, H2 membranes with emphasis on maximized yields, productivity, and decreased turnaround times
• Developed novel processing techniques to significant improve process robustness, reduce variation, decrease waste, reduce setup time, and improve raw material sourcing( estimated to achieve >$200,000/yr savings)
• Invented novel, patentable processing equipment to significantly reducing processing time (18 hrs to 3 hrs), increase yields, while simultaneously increasing desirable characteristics with negligible increase in costs

University Of Colorado At Bulder

• Design and manufacturing of novel membrane photobioreactors to allow for the continuous production and separation, via membrane technology, of extracellular product production.
• Utilization of labVIEW to monitor transmembrane pressure to determine fouling, residence time, and mass transfer

University Of Colorado At Boulder

• Investigated the kinetics and stress formation of photo-induced acrylic polymerization. Dependent factors included light intensity, initiator identity and concentration, and prepolymerized polymer identity and loading
• Development of data automation to effectively characterize data output from FT-IR

• Design, production, coding, integration and management of websites and internet solutions
• Installation, repair, and education of end-user computing systems

Colorado And Nevada

• Instructed and cultivated science and math knowledge to over 15 pupils
• Focused on individual learning strategies and directed skill improvement
• Established high pupil retention rate. Over 85% of pupils had more than 10 sessions

Golden, Colorado

• Statistically qualified multiple (4) experimental equipment for large scale pilot plant to develop and produce high-strength, low-cost ceramic proppant
• Performed black belt level statistical analysis include DOE and multivariable regression to improve processes by significantly increase yields and product characteristics through hands-on operation of development.
• Discovered and qualified multiple proprietary sintering aids produce a high-strength ceramic proppant with negligible cost increase
• Performed statistical analysis on competitors’ product to identify key market insights necessary for successful marketing of product as well as product performance
