RESEARCH

Cornell University, Ithaca, NY January 2009 – Present

Conducting computer simulation of high-temperature titanium to determine activation energy and diffusion coefficient of defects in

titanium and its dependence on temperature. This research determines how defects migrate through the material and impact the

resulting energies of titanium structures. Also, the diffusion within titanium of alloying elements is better understood.

Currently preparing a paper to submit for publication.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Sunoco Northeast Refining, Inc., Philadelphia, PA September 2007 – December 2007

Corrosion Engineering Co-op May 2008 – August 2008

Created refinery database of uniform metallurgical upgrades for equipment at risk of H2SO4 corrosion. Database implementation

streamlined maintenance procedures and reduced necessary spare parts inventory.

Identified corrosion mechanisms that could damage pipes and equipment within the refinery.

Updated “Process Flow Diagrams” for every unit within the refinery to better recognize potential corrosion problems.

Cornell Engineering Alumni Association, Ithaca, NY September 2005 – May 2006

Administrative Assistant

Introduced Excel macros to the Engineering Alumni database that eliminated duplicate entries and better organized Alumni responses.

Alumni Association efficiency improved through more targeted communications to Alumni and lower cost of mailings.

COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY SKILLS

• Proficient in JAVA, MATLAB, C++, Visual Basic • Knowledgeable with Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Delta Kappa Epsilon January 2006 – Present

Organized community service charity events and participated in fraternity governance.

Freshman Orientation Leader August 2006, August 2007

Volunteered to help freshmen become accustomed to the Cornell campus. Mentored assigned freshmen to address concerns with

adjusting to college life.

Science Research Program September 2002 - June 2005

Researched the Fullerene family of carbon-based molecules and their applications as part of a three year intensive independent

research program. Lectured on Fullerene research status during three annual science research symposiums. Due to instructor’s leave

of absence, personally organized, as well as presented in, the annual science research symposium for May 2005.
