EDUCATION

University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT

Bachelor of Science in Engineering, May 2017

Major: Chemical Engineering, Cumulative GPA: 3.0/4.0

TECHNICAL SKILLS

Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Aspen Plus, Wolfram Mathematica, MatLab, Comsol Multiphysics, SolidWorks

DESIGN PROJECT

School of Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT

Extraction of Helium-3 from Lunar Regolith for Fusion Applications, August 2016 – May 2017

Extracted helium-3 from 11 other solar wind implanted gas components in lunar regolith by designing a multicomponent solid/gas separation process that can be built on the Moon

Programmed Aspen Plus to simulate the amount of helium-3 processed in one year to calculate the amount of homes powered by this process design annually

Forecasted revenues and expenses of plant set-up and initial production to compute the project payback, expectations show full return on investment in 13 years

PROJECT COURSEWORK

UConn School of Engineering, Storrs, CT

Bioprocess Engineering, Spring 2017

Reviewed a research paper explaining the simultaneous binding of multiple substrates to active sites and its responsibility for the metabolism of drugs

Examined the kinetic scheme of a metabolic enzyme to recreate the velocity equation and model in Matlab

Senior Chemical Engineering Lab, Fall 2016

Designed and experimentally tested a small-scale 3D printed chemical reactor within given specifications and parameters to analyze the results for innovation on efficiency and yield

Evaluated the reaction kinetics of a simple homogenous liquid- phase system by experimentally modelling this reaction in a continuously stirred-tank reactor while, recording and analyzing the data

Advanced Transport Phenomena with Industrial Applications, Spring 2017

Translated a research paper that reviews heat transfer in industrial food processing by creating a comic book to clarify the detailed transport phenomena to colleagues

Unit Operations and Process Simulation, Fall 2016

Solved chemical engineering problems by simulating industrial applications using Aspen Plus, while ensuring the chemical engineering principles

EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE
