Chemical Engineering Intern, Plug Power Inc. - Hydrogen Fuel Cell Manufacturer. June 2017-Aug 2017 o Led research and development of metallic coated bipolar plates for applications in hydrogen fuel cells.

Corrosion testing, interfacial contact resistance, mass spectrometry analysis, single cell testing, image analysis, and passivation testing.

o Performed data mining and analysis to improve hydrogen fuel cell stack efficiency and reliability. o Optimized the building of fuel cell stacks for production, to double output efficiency. o Performed quality analysis on fuel cell plates and gaskets, and designing test procedures for testing valve quality.

o Categorized volatile organic compound effects on fuel cells to create a reference database for customers and corporate knowledge.

Researcher, UMD Department of Chemical Engineering: May 2016 – Sept 2016 o Guided research in polymerization and microfluidics, specifically the development of multilayered capsules, and tubes.

o Analyzed the responses of thermo-responsive multilayered capsules through dye release experimentation. o Measured and analyzed the physical properties associated with multilayered capsules and tubes. o Experimentation involving various methods of creating multilayered capsules, including microfluidic devices, were tested using rheometry, image analysis, uv-vis spectroscopy, and coefficient of restitution. o Developed an efficient process for quickly engineering multilayer polymerizations and capsules.

Researcher, UMD Fischel Department of Bioengineering: May 2015 – May 2016 o Independent research studying virtual reality and biological responses to anxiety inducing stimuli. o Design and implementation of experimental procedure for measuring respiratory resistance in young adults, when immersed in an anxiety inducing virtual reality simulation. o Performing statistical analysis of data, using population testing and reporting significant biomedical findings.
