EXPERIENCE

Kolmar Laboratories

Port Jervis, NY

Junior Process Engineer

December 2013 - present

. Worked alongside another process engineer, monitoring the efficiency

of creating finished goods in the lipstick and powder department

. Took responsibilities of the MUNY, Seriously Sensational, and Sinful

Beauty Projects, which were specifically for Aveda, Mally, and Burt's

Bees

. Created 15 kilogram batches for different shades of cream gels,

blushes, and eye shadows in the pilot lab

. Revised the batch cards by adjusting the weight percentage of the raw

materials, scaling up the quantity of bulk, or changing ingredients

. Assisted compounders in creating batches and calculated the viscosity,

pH, and specific gravity in the Quality Control Laboratory

. Headed validation testing in which companies like Burt's Bees would

check its products in the assembly line to see if the products have

the correct filled weight, torque, and head space

. Continuously updated the MFG Pro, which is a database that shows all

formula numbers, procedures, and specifications

. Created procedures and specifications for pilot batches using the

white pages

Chromocell

North Brunswick, NJ

Laboratory Assistant

June 2013- October 2013

. Prepared solutions that were to be tested by panelists and recorded

the results through a software called Fizz

. Performed solubility testing and IR spectroscopy on samples given by

laboratory manager

. Varied molar concentrations of each sample and recorded all data in

excel

. Participated in multiple acuity tests on samples that were provided by

Coca-Cola

. Promoted to a specialty program in which panelists must taste samples

that could be described as metallic, astringent, cooling, or bubbly

. Described liquid solutions based on sweetness, bitterness, sourness,

and saltiness

Rutgers Chemical Engineering Department

Piscataway, NJ

Research Assistant on Catalyst Supporters

June 2011-December 2011

. Prepared such substances as graphene oxide and alumina which function

as catalyst supporters

. Utilized machinery such as a centrifuge in order to extract the

optimal amount of graphene

. Fabricated and characterized a variety of sol-gels that were analyzed

through a Raman Spectroscopy

. Researched numerous articles pertaining to metal nanoparticles,

surface area, and porosity

. Attempted in depth to figure out how alumina and graphene oxide

impregnated with palladium could create a heterogeneous catalyst

Rutgers Chemistry Department

Piscataway, NJ

Laboratory Assistant

September 2008-December 2008

. Skillfully handled and sanitized the chemicals assigned during lab

period

. Assisted in distributing fragile equipment such as burettes, test

tubes, and beakers

. Demonstrated the proper techniques in using lab apparatus and

monitored student's progress

PROJECT

Synthesis of Aspirin

January 2013-May 2013

. Determined the optimal process parameters to give the highest percent

yield

. Varied the temperature, agitation rate, and composition to seek out

the percent yield

. Found the melting points of the samples in order to quantitatively

determine the purity of aspirin

. Used infrared spectroscopy to verify the purity

SKILLS Expertise with PC's and applications including: Microsoft Office,

Matlab, ChemCad, and Labview
