SUMMARY
Recent PhD in Materials Science and Nuclear Engineering seeking position as a researcher. Expertise in Materials and Processes for development, design and production in energy, aerospace and defense applications. I have published technical documents and compliance documentation.
CORE COMPETENCIES
• Materials Processing and Manufacturing
• Materials Laboratory Operations
• Non-Destructive Testing ( SEM, TEM, Raman, XPS, Profilometry)
• Mechanical Testing coordinated with Electron Microscopy (SEM,EDS)
• Quantitative Research with Data Analysis in Python SKILLS-BASED PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Materials Processing & Manufacturing Research
• Initiated interdisciplinary approach to meet the engineering design requirements for use nuclear reactor environments up to 2000 degrees C. (e.g. refractories, composites, and technical ceramics).
• Familiarity with industry specifications, especially materials testing (e.g. ASTM) and US Government Regulations.
• Expert knowledge of Materials and Processes for development, design and production in energy and aerospace applications.
• Proficient with high volume computer-controlled manufacturing technology.
• Planned, and implemented root cause failure analysis for process and hardware.
• Reviewed technical specification and specified appropriate materials and processes to meet design intents and contract requirements. Nuclear Ceramics Research & Development
• Investigated, modelled and improved methods for SiC and Oxide ceramic composites fabrication, characterization, and manufacturing. Increased yield by 1800%.
• Optimized ceramic (mostly semiconductor) powder processing and sintering conditions to decrease process time and increase yield and improve uniformity. Reduced end to end sintering time from 5 hour to 1 hours.
• Characterized ceramics to assess microstructure and mechanical and thermal performance (XRD, SEM, Raman, Spectroscopy).
• Routinely conducted failure analysis via electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) Materials Research & Development
• Project lead in a collaboration between the University of Florida, a Privative company, the Department of Energy and Idaho National Lab, to fabricate and insert experimental fuel into the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Lab. o Organized and planned experiment schedule for seven researchers. o Trained young researcher in scanning electron microscopy. o Collaborated with regulators and compliance to ensure health and lab safety policies.
o Creatively adapted to new scenarios and using sound judgment to solve problems.
o Took ownership of the product, ensuring that all technical aspects would be successful and confidential information was managed. o Project was a complete success as we inserted six rodlets into the Advanced Test Reactor for long-term irradiation and documented the task. Materials Laboratory
• Served as laboratory manager. As lab manager responsible for all technical and safety related aspects of the lab. Met annual budget requirements.
• Failure analysis/resolution experience with root cause analysis and the ability to implement innovative solutions.
• Expertise in XRD, SEM, Raman, TC, Profilometry, Sintering, Fracture
• Exceptional documentation skills, presentation skills, and interpersonal skills. EDUCATION
