PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME South Bend, IN

Graduate Student, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering August 2010-February 2017

Created new chemical compounds in order to meet the goals of the Co-Fluid Vapor-Compression Cycle project by applying literature research and analytical skills

Developed and tested ionic liquids (ILs) that had a viscosity up to 70-90% lower than previously known ILs

Demonstrated that small amounts of tetraglyme are particularly effective in reducing the viscosity of ILs

Discovered IL-IL mixtures with exceptionally high and low viscosities compared to the pure ILs

Created two viscosity models that provided a molecular explanation for the observed unusual behavior of ionic liquids mixtures

Built an apparatus that allowed for the measurement of CO2 solubility in ionic liquids, which was used to find ILs with anions that met the target enthalpy of reaction with CO2

SSOE Toledo, Ohio

Co-op/Internship Summer 2006-Fall 2008

Operated Micro-Station and AutoCAD on a daily basis in order to identify errors within drawings and then met and discussed design errors with other engineers in order to properly correct errors within drawings to ensure accurate P&ID

Examined and corrected errors within drawings while managing, constructing, and verifying the valve count to prevent construction delays
