University of Delaware Newark, DE

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, degree with distinction May 2017 Minor: Electrical and Computer Engineering & Chemistry GPA: 3.68/4.00 Dean’s List: Spring 2013 – Spring 2017 (8 semesters) PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Delaware Newark, DE Research Assistant & Principal Investigator Nov 2015 - May 2017

• Collaborated with Professor Douglas Buttrey to lead a team of 5 students and manage daily experimental operations such as purchasing chemicals, and maintaining equipment and safety

• Obtained 4 Certificates of Training for Xray Device Safety, Laboratory Safety (ventilation and fire), Advanced Chemical Hygiene/RTK, and Chemical Waste Disposal from BioRAFT and 1 safety certification from AIChE

• Successfully synthesized high efficient catalysts in the Mo-V-Nb-Te-O “M1 Phase” family with a promoter “M2 phase” through the slurry method, and improved efficiency of the processes leading to these compounds by studying 4 factors (temperature, calcination time, pH aqueous solution and metal ratio) which influenced crystal size and habit 4-5x/week

• Analyzed crystal structures by using Bruker D3 XRD and CrystalDiffract software. Compared the experimental data with multiple calculated intensity data to identify the phase composition, and built the structure module by CrystalMaker software

• Selected as 1 out of 200 scholars from the entire university to participate in the University of Delaware Summer Scholars for Undergraduate Research program in summer 2016 on the topic of Control Preparation of Mo-V-Nb-Te-O “M1 Phase” Material

• Published senior thesis on this research, and achieved degree with distinction BASF (China) Company Shanghai, China

Summer Intern, Performance Materials Department Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

• Collected and tested daily through market analysis- BASF TPU, DuPont TPEE, Covestro TPU, and TWSS TPU to compare the chemical and physical proprieties and develop BASF TPU

• Prepared 1,500+ lab sample sheets with injection molding machine and 100+ leather cables with extrusion machine

• Analyzed the physical and chemical properties of the sample according to the requirements of 2 customers (Nike and Adidas)

• Practiced on different DIN, ASTM test methods for TPU, TPEE, PU performance testing, such as tensile, stress, abrasion & hardness test

• Organized the inventory by documenting the lab activities and experiment results ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Market Renmatix OMNO (Lignin) Product, UC Berkeley, Product Development Program field project Jan 2018 - May 2018

• Worked with renewables company, Renmatix, and conducted market research on applications for its high purity lignin product (OMNO), a brand new product with a great potential as a sustainable material for adhesives, foams, polyurethanes, and coatings industries

• Identified and interviewed 6 professors and researchers to explore novel applications that can make OMNO into a disruptive product, and generated relevant connections with potential users/buyers by researching about online platforms and web-based industry groups

• Compared online and web-based platforms (such as YouTube, LinkedIn, online marketplace, chemical search engine, and open innovation platforms) to market the OMNO product and Enable Open Collaborative Space, and found the top two website that can be utilized for each kind of platforms

• Posted OMNO product information on 8 LinkedIn groups, and found a potential customer with a price enquiry within 3 months Process Design for the Biosynthesis of Omega-3, University of Delaware Senior design course project Feb 2017 - May 2017

• Designed an Omega-3 biosynthesis plant by applying mass balance and energy balance based on outside research data (oxygen uptake rate, growth rate, and biomass yield) of Omega-3, and analyzed NPV, IRR and ROI for entire plant

• Scaled up and simulated the fermentation process of Omega-3 biosynthesis by using Aspen Plus

• Optimized the output of the batch, fed-batch, and chemostat by MATLab code Alaskan Pipeline Redesign, University of Delaware Fluid Mechanics course project Sep 2015 - Dec 2015

• Redesigned the length, diameter, and the location of the oil pipeline by analyzing the real condition (terrain, weather, pressure) through Alaska to understand better fluid mechanics

• Simulated the redesigned model of the Alaskan oil pipeline by using AFT Fathom SKILLS
