GT Advanced Technologies, Inc.

Subject: Application for Metrology Optical Scientist

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am a chemist with two years of experience, currently working in Spokane, WA, and I am interested in returning

to Arizona to continue my career. My industrial laboratory experience, coupled with academic research in product

characterization, makes me an excellent candidate for the position of Metrology Optical Scientist.

Experience: I am skilled in running tests on a variety of equipment and methods, including GDMS, LECO, FAA,

Flame AAS, ICP-MS, NMR, AA, UV-Vis, and Fluorescence. My duties have included independent maintenance

of chemical and elemental inventories and test equipment, following chain -of-command protocols for receiving,

testing, monitoring, and storing samples, and developing in-house training materials to improve turnaround times

and efficiencies in use of materials.

Quality: One of my responsibilities is to run control checks to ensure that the instruments are performing

accurately. As part of my Six Sigma Green Belt certification, I brought a new carbon determiner instrument

online, which required many different analyses to ensure that it met testing standards and produced reliable results.

I have also made improvements in the lab, ranging from identifying and correcting potential safety hazards to

streamlining test processes in reducing turnaround times. I created and implemented flow charts of procedures

for ISO 9000 certification and collected research data to improve pl ating processes.

Education: I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Northern Arizona University, and I plan to

pursue a master’s degree in chemistry while working. This will allow me to strengthen my academic foundation

while advancing my professional contributions in an industrial setting.

Leadership and Integrity: As an Eagle Scout, former Girl Scout instructor, and NAU Resident Assistant, I have

strived to set good examples for others and follow a personal code of ethical conduct. Through my involvement

in these organizations, I have developed independent problem -solving techniques and valuable skills as both a

team leader and project collaborator.

I am very excited about a career with GT Advanced Technologies, Inc., and I look forward to communicating

further with you about my qualifications. Thank you for considering me as a candidate for this important position.

Sincerely,

Brian E Miller
