CAREER OBJECTIVE

QUALIFIED CHEMICAL ENGINEER / PROCESS ENGINEER / PRODUCT ENGINEER offers graduate level academic experience

in catalyst synthesis and characterization. Extensive knowledge in nanotechnology and gas/solid

adsorption. Significant qualifications include:

> Process engineering experience in industrial jet engine overhaul, providing reduction in process time, cost, and mitigation through emergency situations.

> Developed process for the synthesis of palladium/ruthenium decorated carbon structures using sono-chemical treatment and a reduction deposition, utilizing TEM and ICP-MS to characterize particle deposition and Autosorb 1-C adsorption instrument to characterize hydrogen uptake.

> Chancellor’s Fellow, based on academic excellence as an undergraduate and continued excellence as a graduate student.

> Academy Fellow, based on excellence in the department of Biological and Chemical Engineering.

> Gave research presentations based on dissertation topic at American Institute for Chemical Engineers national conferences in 2006, 2007.

> Active member and leader within Alpha Chi Sigma (professional chemistry fraternity) and graduate student government Council of Graduate Students.

> Excellent technical and communication abilities, combined with effective interpersonal skills.

> Demonstrated ability to complete multiple projects simultaneously, meet deadlines, and build quality relationships.

> Works well in high stress positions where profitability and meeting weekly, monthly and annual goals are imperative.

> Builds strong relationships with all levels of employees thereby achieving higher quality of research, satisfied clientele and follow-on business.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

PROCESS ENGINEER

Tinker Air Force Base Oklahoma City, OK 2011-Present

Propulsion Maintenance Group

Provided process engineering assistance to multiple jet engine overhaul processes including chemical cleaning and grit blasting. Developed and implemented projects to reduce flow days both through and between processes, minimize processing cost, improve quality control and enhance general safety issues with processes.

> Developed projects to procure process equipment to increase efficiency, including development of technical specifications, installation, and implementation.

> Developed process operation sheets for standard operation of specific processes.

> Used familiarity with Technical Orders and aerospace alloy materials to ensure proper and effective processing, and initiated changes to improve overall process efficiency.

> Provided emergency engineering response to process equipment and control system failures and implemented mitigation plans to maximize production.

> Provided periodic briefings to upper level management on critical process statuses.

RESEARCH/TEACHING ASSISTANT

Missouri University of Science and Technology Rolla, MO 2005-2009

Academic Departments of Biological and Chemical Engineering and Chemistry

Provided assistance by lecturing and grading for multiple courses in both chemical engineering and chemistry, and performed detailed adsorptive analyses including BET surface area, porosity and chemisorption for clientele of advisor. This included daily interface with multiple faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students with the departments above.

> Developed and implemented lesson plans and curriculum for three summers for Material Balances coursework.

> Developed lesson plans for 4 weekly recitation courses of freshman chemistry and graded quizzes and exams from the class for 1 semester.

> Acted as substitute lecturer and grader for multiple semesters in heat transfer, material balances, reactor design, and intro to chemical engineering courses.

> Directed and organized weekly wet labs wherein multiple experiments were taking place and graded quizzes for three semesters of intro to chemical engineering course.

> Developed standard operating procedure for Autosorb 1-C adsorptive analysis instrument for porosity, BE surface area, micropore analysis, and chemisorption analyses.
