EDUCATION

University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Graduation: May 2014

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineer

. GPA: 3.1/4.0

Relevant Coursework

. Engineer process control and stage operation design

. Aspen engineering plant design - created a design to optimize sulfur

trioxide production from a waste stream containing gaseous sulfur

dioxide with the use of Aspen

. Chemical engineering experiments using refrigeration unit, heat

exchangers, evaporators, centrifugal pumps, boiler units, distillation

EXPERIENCE

University of Louisiana at Lafayette - Lafayette, LA

August 2013 - December 2013

Unit Operations Lab Research Assistant

. Performed experiments and collected data for the calculation of flow

rate of solid particulate matter

. Used Matlab's image processing toolbox and neural network programming

to develop a script which uses images to detect flow rate of solid

particles. The resulting Matlab program is much faster than

traditional methods.

. Tested and implemented the use of a recycling stream which easily and

quickly recycled the solid pebbles used from the exiting stream back

into the feet tank for reuse.

New Mexico Highlands University - Las Vegas, NM

January 2010 - December 2010

Bio molecular Lab Research Assistant

. Conducted DNA polymerase chain reactions (PCR) for DNA isolation and

purification

. Performed gel electrophoresis experiments to determine gene

composition of Repro-27 mice and identify which genes had a mutation.

. Performed tail DNA sampling, surgery and tissue collection as

appropriate for genotyping purposes.

Gallencamnk Biomedical - Douala, Cameroon

May 2008 - September

2008

Laboratory Technician - Intern

. Along with plant laboratory technician team, produced a blood

preservative solution for use in preserving blood from employees of

two of the plant's biggest customers (Guinness and Coca Cola) during

their annual screening.

. Conducted annual blood screening for STD's and Malaria for employees

at Guinness and Coca Cola

. Due to efficient safety precautions, the process was completed on

schedule with no onsite safety incidents.
