ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Graduate Research, Materials Science and Engineering May 2013 – May 2015

NJIT Thesis Project

Synthesis and characterization of medical hydrogels, adhesives and drug delivery materials based on isosorbide technology

Conducted various lab experiments using differential scanning calorimetry to determine the expected ratio of epoxy to amine, which ensured the target formation of the hydrogel material, was achieved.

Evaluated the performance of hydrogel in water to determine which hydrogels were most efficient based on their initial and final weights.

Designed experimental procedure to determine the optimal testing criteria for the materials used in curing by running ratio and temperature analysis.

Generated weekly reports for the faculty, which included detailed description of the progress of the hydrogel lab trials and results.

Characterized hydrogels using NMR and FTIR
