EXPERIENCE & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

2009 Nutrilite Process Engineer Intern (R&D)

Compiled rework database to make the information accessible to

cross functional partners

Identified products requiring R&D rework and conducted

experiments to provide rework

recommendations in order to salvage rework materials of value

$250,000

Developed a generalized process map for rework assessment and

provided recommendations

for efficient rework process

Gave a presentation summarizing what was accomplished from my

project

2008 Chemical Engineering Car

Designed and built a car that runs by a chemical reaction for

regional and national competitions

2007-Present Research at Dr. James Liao's Metabolic Engineering Laboratory

Project: Devising the optimal production of various alcohols

(biofuel) from microorganisms

Method: Using molecular biology techniques and metabolic

engineering, manipulate genome

of E.coli and cyanobacteria to produce butanol and optimize

alcohol production pathways

Made presentation on optimization of butanol production in

E.coli by Citramalate pathway

Wrote fellowship grant proposals and a research report on my

projects

Acknowledged in the journal article: Atsumi and Liao, 2008.
