Arizona State University

• Thesis overview: A 2 2 experimental design for isolating the effects of inclusion particle content and precipitate structure on corrosion fatigue, validated by capturing 3D X-ray tomography data of the corrosion fatigue cracking in situ.

• Used SEM, Focused-Ion Beam and EDS to perform fractographic failure analysis and verify corrosion mechanisms on the fracture surfaces.

• Studied the effects of aluminum microstructural constituents’ positions in the galvanic series on corrosion and environmental cracking behavior.

• Coupled backscattered electron diffraction with FIB, EDS, high resolution SEM, and vertical scanning interferometry to verify corrosion mechanisms in a sample of aluminum polished to 50 nm surface finish.

• Used Python scripting in Linux, Matlab, and Avizo Fire to analyze over 10 TB of image data.

• Performed fatigue testing of aluminum inside an ultrahigh-vacuum fatigue chamber which required manual pump-down and observation of 10-8 to 10-10 torr pressure via mass spectrometer.

• Mixed hydrofluoric acid-containing etchants for viewing features in the aluminum microstructure.

• Designed and built a flat punch nanoindentation materials testing system for in situ use in micro- tomography systems and interrupted use in nano-tomography systems, programmed the operation in LabVIEW.

• Wrote compelling essays to win a competitive 3 yr Ph.D. research fellowship.

• Presented research findings at scientific conferences across the world using Powerpoint, and won a free trip to present in Cancun via a Materials Research Society best poster + poster exchange student award.

• Designed a reusable electromigration testing jig for testing 100 μm diameter, 50 μm wide joints in furnaces and SEM for to determine the failure time of high performance Intel solder.

• Developed a process flow for oxidation and KOH etch to form v-grooves in wafers for solder reflow.

• Assisted coworkers in achieving successful process for electroplating of tin onto copper. Research Assistant for Nuclear Forensics of Lithium Ion Batteries August 2011 – August 2013 Arizona State University, Tempe AZ

• Performed acid digestion of battery samples for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP- MS).

• Used ICP-MS data to create accurate simulations of the batteries in Monte Carlo Neutral Particle Modeling Program 5 (MCNP5).

• Used Matlab and Excel to create a convenient database that helped determine the feasibility of lithium ion batteries as neutron detectors for nuclear forensics.

• Created simulations of nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons to determine the neutron spectrum at a given distance from a battery.

• Developed a nuclear reactor exposure and gamma measurement experiment as a check to determine the accuracy of the models.

• Performed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests on lithium ion batteries before and after radiation damage to observe the changes in electrical performance.

• Used source simulation results to estimate the activity of batteries after exposure.

• Scouted a talented coworker who enhanced the speed and completeness of the project.

• Developed experimental procedures for nuclear forensic analysis of Li-ion batteries. Participation and Outreach
