SKILLS

Processing and R&D

• Rheological characterization of rubber and plastic in dynamic, steady shear, creep, startup, relaxation experiments

• Rubber compounding

• Experience with machines and instruments including extruders, injection molding machines, rheometers, internal mixers, compression molding presses, fiber spinning apparatuses, tensometers, LC, GC, SEM, TGA, DSC

• Conducting a Life Cycle Assessment

Computer

• MATLAB, MS Office, Moldex3D, SigmaPlot, Loop-Pro, Aspen Plus, SimaPro, Autodesk Inventor (CAD) RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant, The Avraam I. Isayev Research Group, Department of Polymer Engineering, The University of Akron, Akron, OH Aug. 2013-Present

• Analyzed and simulated the rheological behavior of filled rubber compounds o Oscillatory shear (small and large amplitude), steady shear, creep, startup shear, stress relaxation

• Used several instruments to determine rheological behavior including rotational rheometers, a capillary rheometer, a rubber process analyzer (RPA), and a Mooney Viscometer

• Used various instruments to prepare rubber compounds including Banbury and Brabender type internal mixers, a two-roll mill, and a compression molding press

• Measured bound rubber content of compounds via swelling tests R&D Technology Intern, SABIC Innovative Plastics, Mount Vernon, IN May 2013-Aug-2013

• Devised a waste separation and recovery process that would save $8.5 million annually

• Built a pilot scale model to assess the waste separation process

• Analyzed the recovered waste product using gas chromatography and liquid chromatography methods Process Engineering Intern, Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products, Wytheville, VA Jan. 2013-May 2013

• Devised a separation method for waste plastic mixtures for reuse and recycle that would reduce total waste by 20%

• Proposed recommendations to develop a more sustainable operation in a formal report Undergraduate Research Assistant, The Timothy E. Long Research Group, Macromolecular Science and Engineering, Department of Chemistry, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA Aug. 2012-May 2013

• Electrospun various polymer and micelle solutions

• Determined the effects of various operating conditions on electrospinning behavior

• Analyzed the rheological behavior of solutions and melts using a rotational rheometer

• Measured the diameters of electrospun nanofibers using a scanning electron microscope ACADEMIC HONORS AND ACTIVITIES
