SUMMARY:
I've managed my own advanced materials research lab in academia and my
performance was rated in the top 5% at a Fortune 500 company. I'm a quick
learner and a team player and believe strongly in the role of honesty and
communication in the workplace. I like being in an environment where I can
make things happen and get things done. My set of skills as a trained
Electron Microscopist is unique and graduates from my school are highly
sought-after by those in industry and research.
