Summary of

Qualifications

Education Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) Dec 2023 B.S. Chemical Engineering, Minor Chemistry, Minor Physics GPA: 3.28/4.0 Experience

Rust-Oleum Corporation - R&D Co-op Pleasant Prairie, WI

● Ran a Type 1 Gage R&R over different Rheological geometries for rheological Jan 2023 - Current standardization for the lab and future lab work over rheological methods.

● Ran a study on product stability by rheological and improved method for testing Stability. Time for the test was reduced from a month to two weeks.

● Ran and operated defoamer screening and determined best defoamers and determined parameters for quality testing and reported to other members within the group for their future, current projects and formulations.

●

International Fragrances & Flavors Inc. - Process R&D Co-op St. Louis, MO

● Ran and analyzed pilot plant trials for the purpose of new materials trialing, May 2022 - Jan 2023 plant maintenance, equipment validation/calibration.

● Compiled and analyzed FPFQY data for global production/manufacturing and lead global meetings for manufacturing leads and fostered discussions focused on current issues and brought

● Analyzed FPFQY data and determined SKUs and Assays that we both major in Volume and % failure and showcased information to global manufacturing leads and helped create SKU/Assay Audit teams to help target and improve failure of SKUs and assays by hundreds of metric tonnes of production.

● Utilized Minitab for analysis for in process sampling, and final product to ensure understand process control of new equipment and materials as well as final product quality.

● Piloted and analyzed new equipment in different process points for the pilot plant and adjusted settings for optimal use in the process. The end result was determination that equipment will be installed into the pilot plant and used in process for future research trials.

● Improved SOP for experimental equipment process and for calibration for ease of use and for future people to be able to use the equipment more readily.

● Developed database of conditions to match quality requirements on products for new

● Recalibrated and solved calibration issues for equipment not in use and developed new Methodologies utilizing equipment for current manufacturing issues for new product lines. Missouri S&T - Undergraduate Research Assistant Rolla, MO

● Cooperated with a team to create a transparent p-n junction via May 2021 - May 2022 electrodeposition. Focused on the design of experiments to determine deposition parameters and followed up with characterization and determined best methods and solutions.

● Utilized design of experiment to determine the best or improved methods of manufacturing a material as well as the mechanisms behind the deposition.

● Characterization of thin films with powder XRD and thin film XRD to determine crystal structure, orientation, defects, thickness, and epitaxy with 2theta scans, rocking curves, and pole figures.

● Utilized potentiostat for cyclic voltammetry, linear scan voltammetry, and chronoamperometry for electrochemical analysis and electrodeposition of thin films.

● Analyzed results from projects and experiments utilizing root cause analysis. Took part in group meetings presenting on results, progress, future ideas. Took part in group discussions over projects and took in advice and critique to improve on the design of experiments, analysis, and process of deposition. SpinSci Technologies LLC. - Intern Dallas, TX

● Designed and implemented a dashboard for data analysis and created a May - August 2019 confluence page for constant monitoring of project data.

● Troubleshoot and improve workflows with a project lead over VoIP. Identified and noted all blocks within the workflow and found the cause or probable cause of the problem and presented to the project lead.

● Presented ideas for the comprehensive data structure for storage and access of data for past, present, and future projects to supervisor and project leads and implemented advice and tips and removed/modified structure in response to advice/constructive criticism.

● Coordinated with software engineers and Programmers in organizing projects, respective data, and POCs into the data structure for storage as well as a continuous input stream into storage.
