Lemont, Illinois, United States

I am developing data-driven decision-making using data analytics tools, report writing, and data visualization through Workday, Excel, Python, and PowerBi. I provide data analysis and reporting on employee hiring and turnover, survey responses, and demographics.

Lemont, IL

Analyzing large data sets of high-energy X-ray scattering measurements through computer modeling to investigate a class of 2D capacitor thin films called MXenes in order to gain insight into the atomic-level structure of these materials. MXenes encompass an enormous family of recently discovered and predicted 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides.

Madison, Wisconsin

Researching collisions at the air-liquid interface using mass spectroscopy and molecular beam scattering under Gilbert Nathanson. Our research has illuminated the impact of salts and organic surfactants on reactions of N2O5 at the surface of aerosol particles. At night, N¬2O5 serves as a reservoir for nitric oxides produced when fossil fuels are burned..

Bloomington/Normal, Illinois Area

Worked for the chemistry department for the advanced inorganic synthesis class. This class is designed so students perform three lengthy synthesis over the course of a semester. My job is to provide guidance with the synthesis and assistance with operating instruments, such as NMR, UV-Vis, and performing cyclic voltammetry.

Bloomington/Normal, Illinois Area

Provided computer troubleshooting assistance to visitors and students. Helped install and maintain software and hardware on lab computers. I was promoted to the position of Student Manager in August 2012 and put in charge of hiring new employees.

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

I participated in a research experience for undergraduates at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the direction of Dr. Andrew Gewirth. That work involved a project that dealt with studying the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in order to develop a system to control the kinetics of the ORR. Our work proved that a hybrid bilayer membrane consisting.

Notre Dame, Indiana

I received an internship at US Nano LLC, a small startup company associated with Notre Dame University. This group is working to develop a cost efficient synthesis for the production of cadmium selenide nanowires. My job was to research and develop alternatives to the syntheses to increase the cost efficiency. At US Nano LLC I worked as part of a small.
