EXPERIENCE

University of California, Santa Barbara – College of Engineering, Santa Barbara, CA

Research Assistant, June 2012-April 2013

Environmental barrier coating (EBC) systems consisting of multiple layers of silicates in

the YbO1.5-SiO2 system and phases in the HfO2-YbO1.5 system

Synthesized powders of rare earth silicates using co-precipitation technique and created

pellets for testing via cold isostatic press and subjecting to thermal treatment.

Determined constitution of each pellet using combination of X -ray diffraction (XRD,

Phillips XPERT) and microstructure analysis using backscattered electron imaging.

Phase equilibria were determined to aid the design of multilayer thermal/environmental

barrier coatings for SiC-based CMCs.

Cats in Need, Petsmart-Diamond Bar, CA

Volunteer, June 2005-September 2007

Volunteered at the no-kill cat shelter usually found in PetSmart stores. Cleaned,

socialized, cared for and prepared medication for cats in the process of prepping them for

adoption.
