Education

BS in Chemical Engineering from UCLA with a technical breadth area in Computer Science Graduation Date: June 2016 GPA: 3.2

Skills

Validation Assays – Break down process components to evaluate the component’s functionality with research, theory, experimentation, and statistical evaluation

2n Experimental Design – Design of Experiments (DOE) method of isolating the effects of n independent variables (i.e. temperature, time, volumetric flow rate) to generate 2n experimental trials Statistical Analysis – Application of statistical methods such as Confidence Interval, Chi-squared Test and ANOVA to determine the likelihood a sampled value reflects the absolute value Linear Regression – Manipulating the axes of a data set to establish a mathematical relation between two variables Technical Writing and Presentation Skills – Ability to tailor documents, presentations, and other forms of correspondence to a specified format

Chemical Process Design –

- Process Flow Diagrams – Schematic diagrams of a chemical process, including flow rates, component compositions, equipment, required power, and heating inputs

- Reactor Design via simulation – Determine size of a reactor using software with respect to various specifications (i.e. Product output, required heat duty)

- Pro II Simulation Software

Programming Proficiency

- C++ advanced data structures and linked libraries

- OpenGL API and SDL2.0 Library

- MATLAB programming

Experience

Industrial-Scale Ammonia Plant Design (2016)

• Efficiently worked in team settings to complete the design of an industrial-scale ammonia plant

• Responsible for the simulation and accurately calculating the size and cost of natural gas steam reformers and shift reactors used in an Ammonium Plant

• Utilized Pro II simulation software with fundamental Chemical Engineering concepts to tabulate essential values

• Ensured that the resulting simulation statistics, as well as the final resulting dimensions of the reactors were economically feasible

Treasurer of the Society of Petroleum Engineers at UCLA (2014 – 2015)

• Managed funds for the newly established student group

• Distributed reimbursements to members who provided amenities to chapter meetings

• Opened an account within the UCLA Chemical Engineering Department to store money for chapter meetings and group activities

• Wrote and completed applications for funding from the Student Union

• Produced invoices of student group expenditures for the local Los Angeles parent chapter of the national organization

Student Groups and Interests

• Member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

• Volunteered with UCLA Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (OSTEM)
