University of Texas (Dallas) Graduate Student Researcher Aug 2014 – May 2016

Gave direction and credibility to experiments by investigating several project topics using multiple resources including library and Internet databases, periodicals and published journal.

Provided hands-on, per-project performance experience by processing and analyzing data collected from experiments.

Helped to design portable devices & platforms for cellular & molecular diagnostics & therapeutics.

Developed and presented solutions and proposals to colleagues for health related products by assisting in development of ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) thin film technology.

Conducted research on use of UNCD’s application in Ion-Lithium Batteries, Electronic Devices, Dental Implants, Dental Drills, and Hip Prosthesis.

Ion-Lithium Batteries:

Developed a breakthrough technology by growing robust ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films as coatings for the battery components such as anodes, cathodes, membranes for commercializing a new generation of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with 10x longer life.

Electronic Devices:

Used the diamond films (UNCD, NCD and MCD) as the active material for the new generation of electronic power devices like TFT and Diodes, that can operate at extreme conditions such as high temperature and aggressive environmental.

Dental Implants and Hip Prosthesis:

Growth of the UNCD films to cover the Titanium hip implants and screws as dental implants and prevent the corrosion and infection generated by the etching of the Titanium surface by the body fluids.

Dental Drills:

Used the UNCD films to cover the conventional drills used for dental cleaning, to prevent the surface of the teeth become rough due to the roughness from the surface of the drill, and prevent the formation of bacteria.
