• Provided lead engineering support during 3 FCCU turnarounds and secondary support during cat gas hydrotreater turnaround • Developed loading allotments for FCC SOx reduction catalyst additive to lower caustic demand• Rectified PHA/HAZOP study on FCCU units• Evaluated different catalyst performance for catalyst bids•Upgraded waste heat boiler design to decrease failure frequency •Updated catalyst loading to keep scrubber emissions below targets •Updated torch oil nozzle designs to lower flow requirements for regenerator temperature

Chemical engineering researcher for incorporating machine learning in process controls

Integrated Supply Chain - Fluid Catalytic Cracking> Planned and executed acid unloading project using Grace Project Management stages and documentation saving $150k/yr in downtime > Initiated the integration of IoT, APC, and Aspen DMC into a catalyst spray dryer unit DCS to eliminate product margin loss and unplanned downtime> Proposed the integration of advanced process control and self-optimizing models for the remaining plant units to tighten optimization>Tuned control loops optimizing different units to ensure operation at setpoint >Determined potential solution for pH control at a sump to control wastewater discharge

• Organized lock-out-tag-out system in preparation for upcoming shutdowns of D1 and D3• Developed machine learning program using GRU RNN deep learning to predict pre-refiner kappa values eliminating the need for an analyzer valued at over $200,000• Developed a data visualization program that uses dimensionality reduction and clustering to recognize patterns in ring crush test variables and optimize fault identification• Ran consistency tests on stock samples in conjunction with operations to troubleshoot product loss• Determined operating envelopes for DCS alarms and interlocks for newly installed units• Lead weekly meetings on process equipment specifications, preventative maintenance, and start-up procedures• Acted as stand-in lock-out-tag-out coordinator for planned outage, communicating changes across departments and to contractors• Suggested a steam leak survey for energy reduction of Power House boilers by optimization of steam and natural gas use

• Developed process monitoring tools to identify plant performance and efficiency• Recommended energy optimization for KPIs based on monitoring tool results• Troubleshot plant issues and developed a preliminary engineering package for each• Proactively identified heat exchanger fouling and communicated findings to Maintenance• Developed tools to drive assessment of plant equipment long-term performance• Streamlined engineering projects for review• Participated in professional Responsible Care training

• Collaborated with a team of 8 other students and 4 supervisors to facilitate efficientfunctions of the 400+ resident community in oral and written presentations• Fostered an engaged community and served as a mentor for 77 residents• Lead in large scale programs to discuss mental health, diversity, and academics• Maintained a written desk log of daily actions as well as online personal logs on residents• Created a budget and plan for biweekly programs to target community improvement

Worked as an assistant coach over summer breaks.
