B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering concentration (2009-present).
Professional Experience
Federal-Mogul (January 2011 - April 2012)
Technical Engineer, operated an analytical materials testing lab. Specifics include determining the chemical and physical properties
of different mixtures and pads. Used several types of analyzing machines, such as scanning electron microscope, FTIR, differential
scanning alorimeter, thermogravimetric analyzer, suface area analyzer, and particle size analyzer.
Eastman Chemical Company (Summer 2012, Spring 2013, Fall 2013)
Chemical Engineering Co-op.
Summer 2012 Term: Worked in the Acetate Process Developement group. My project focused on optimizing
the filtration production process. Modeled, developed, and operated Dynamic Imaging Particle Analysis software.
