• University of California, San Diego, CA September 2010 to June 2015 Graduate Researcher

Designed, synthesized and characterized ruthenium molecules capable of undergoing photoinduced electron transfer, for application in molecular electronics and solar energy conversion materials.

Published six manuscripts in high-impact journals showcasing self-directed research; managed projects with collaborators in photophysics and spectroscopy at Yale, UC Berkeley, CalTech and Uppsala University.

Mastered a diverse set of skills required for chemical experiments; developed new technologies for electrochemistry, UV-vis, and IR spectroscopy to improve characterization techniques.

Awarded grants totally $1.1M(/6 years) from the National Science Foundation (NSF); led grant proposal submissions, organized intellectual merit, articulated scientific contributions and future directions.

Maintained glove boxes, potentiostats and spectroscopy equipment; comfortable working in inert environments.

• National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, CO June 2009 to April 2010 Researcher, Department of Energy (DOE) Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship

Characterized CuInGa(Se,S)2, WO3-NiO, and GaInP2 for renewable hydrogen production via solar powered electrolysis occurring on the surface of a semiconductor.

Implemented electrochemistry and UV-vis techniques to measure band gap, dark/light current, over potential for water splitting, and quantify hydrogen generation.

Reported DOE milestones for photoelectrochemical water splitting; wrote quarterly reports and presented progress to funding agencies.

Performed lifetime durability testing under galvanostatic conditions; collected SEM images to capture surface defects occurring at the water/semiconductor interface.

Recommended modification of semiconductor manufacturing protocols to improve efficiency and durability. INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
