Gavin Dietel
R&D Intern - Poly One
I developed new adhesives and thermosets, then tested the TG, bend strength, and a variety of mechanical properties.
Major accomplishments:
• Experimented with new epoxies that contained nano-particles.
• Made experimental composite limbs and tested the materials properties to the standard composites. The composites were superior and are now produced and sold. EXPERIENCE
2017-2018
Quality Control and R&D Intern - Gordon Composites I gathered data of composites properties and developed a process to improve the consistency curing the resin and its glass transition while following OSHA protocols. Major accomplishments:
• Designed my own project to improve consistency of the standard composites being produced. The project was successful and the results were implemented.
• Performed quality control on a range of their products. 2015 - 2016

Recent graduate equipped with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a concentration in Chemistry. I have gained substantial knowledge of composites, thermosets and adhesives. I also gained additional experience in designing a system that produces fuel grade alcohol from spent grains. Looking forward to joining an organization to kickstart my career and grow as an engineer.
Assistant Botanist - Dr. David Mackenzie, Mirai Sweet Corn Assisted in the hybridization of corn by thoroughly investigating the properties of each strain and breeding those with exceptional qualities.
Major accomplishments:
• Bred strains to increase the percentage of sugar in each corn kernel.
• Enhanced the ability of current corn strains to survive harsh winds and droughts.
