SKILLS
• Proficient using SEM, XRD, oscilloscopes, wave generators (along with other instrumentation).
• Proficient using MathCAD, Excel, Word, and Power Point; able to use MatLab
• Writing, developing, running, debugging, and setting up of experiments.
• Experienced in lab work, sampling, recording data, data analysis, inspections, and lab safety
(including First Aid and CPR training for both children and adults).
PROJECTS
• Characterization of carbon nanotube (CNT) turfs. Turfs were imaged using a Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM). These images are analyzed using stereological measurements to characterize
the structure of the turf. This characterization is defined by Fourier expansions and can be used to
predict CNT turf mechanical properties.
• Computationally determined three dimensional chemical structures of medication for use in a
Biochem lab to investigate the electrical interaction of the drugs on proteins. Also, replicated
proteins in E. coli and separated the proteins and prepared them for crystallization.
• Two aluminum alloy samples (AA6111) were prepared; one of the samples was over aged. By
chemical reaction the aluminum was extracted from the samples leaving behind the alloys inter-
metallics. Both samples were studied using powdered X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Results were
compared and presented.
• Writing, administering, and analyzing a nationwide survey on nanotechnology. Models were also
created to aid in the teaching of nanotechnology to high school and college aged students. A
presentation was given and a paper was written with results and conclusions found.
• Developed experiments to find Joule-Thompson coefficients of gases (CO 2 and N2). The
expansions of these gasses were measured at different temperatures and pressures. To complete
calculations, an additional experiment was developed and completed to find appropriate Seebeck
coefficients for each of the gasses.
