A Top Secret/SCI clearance was obtained in this timeframe.

May 2008 to July 2010 Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

Environmental Engineer

Managed the completion of tasks on the Nanoparticle Occupational Health Research project for the Environmental & Health Risk Mgmt Branch, 77th Aeronautical Systems Wing Aeronautical System Center (HQ AFMC/ASC/WNVV)

Responsible for developing project ideas, networking, establishing client relationships, and providing various administrative services

Presented at the F-16 Environmental Working Group (EWG) on the current rules and regulations which may impact the Air Force

Organized the 2nd USAF ASC/AFRL ESOH Nanomaterial Workshop and the 2009 AFMC Deicing Workshop

A secret security clearance was obtained to work on this project

August 2006 to December 2008 Miami University, Oxford, OH

Protein Chemist/Graduate Student

Characterized a metallo-β-lactamase Bla2 (an enzyme(s)) from Bacillus anthracis using various methodologies

Performed spectroscopic studies to determine the enzyme(s) active site

Evaluated the enzyme(s) metal content

Collected data on the catalytic activity of the enzyme(s) with steady-state kinetic studies and pre-steady

state conditions for mechanistic studies

This work furthered the development of inhibitors that block the β -lactamase’s ability to hydrolyze common β-lactam antibiotics
