EXPERIENCE

Intern: EBS Environmental Business Specialists, LLC. Mandeville, Louisiana (2011-2012)

1. Assisted principal consultants to solve clients’ problems; Developed protocols for formulation and remediation then set up trials; Designed aerated basin system for water treatment per customer’s specifications; Interpreted intricate engineering drawings and parameters of different clients’ water/sludge treatment systems; Used troubleshooting skills to resolve process related deviations and problems; Conducted evaluation and project development, and finally prepare reports for the clients.

2. Utilized Respirometry system and other techniques to formulate and evaluate chemical and biological additives in wastewater treatment systems; Processed and interpreted testing data using statistical analyses to provide insight regarding the toxicity/inhibitory effects, nitrification capacity, biocide impact, and biodegradability (treatability) of subject compounds, as well as the formulation development of chemicals and bacteria strains for chemical and biological treatment techniques.

3. Sampled wastewater/groundwater/sludge from on-site fields; Extracted and detected priority pollutants in water and soil samples to ensure all indexes meet quality standards; Performed chemistry and microbiological testing such as ammonia, phosphate, COD, BOD, TOC, TSS/VSS, alkalinity, protein, carbohydrates, cell culturing, plate count, microscopic exams and the corresponding quality control/assurance; Established and maintained the SOPs and MSDS.

Research Assistant: College of Engineering, University of Louisiana (2008-2011)

1. Engaged in NASA project “Development of Nano-Scale Sorbents for Water Recovery Systems” and published two articles; Assisted principal investigator with proposal writing; Prepared technical reports detailing findings and recommendations; Presented the outcome to committee members via slide shows.

2. Designed a centralized wastewater treatment system for the city of Abbeville, Louisiana, included preliminary, primary, and secondary treatment processes, sludge treatment and disposal processes; Made the drawings of the layout and units for the water treatment plant using CAD; Conducted engineering calculations and quality controls.

3. Widely exposed to various assay techniques; Performed professional-level analyses; Conducted wet chemistry analyses; Synthesized novel nano-materials that can be used as electrodes and adsorbents; Characterized materials’ structure and morphology using microscopy and x-ray diffraction; Tested materials’ exhibition for TOC or contaminants removal; Determined pesticide residues containing organic phosphor and sulfur in soil/water.

4. Supervised students’ experiments; Conducted chemical inventories; Maintained a clean, safe working environment; Maintained accurate and organized recordkeeping; Operated, calibrated and maintained instruments.
