مجموع سنوات الخبرة :8 years, 8 أشهر
Exploring the competitiveness of various catalytic materials in terms of conversion and selectivity for application in chemical looping combustion through computational chemistry methods.
Carried out cyclic testing of a novel redox catalyst (NewRedCat) for carbon-based battery applications.
Investigated the capture and conversion of sulfur from offshore oil platforms via a biphasic reactor system via ionic liquid through computational chemistry. Attracted interest from Shell Oil Company during presentation at AIChE Conference.
Polymer/Composites Group:
Collaborated with design team to conceive and create innovative product concepts and provide production support.
Became an expert in the electrospinning to introduce the technology into the company for synthesizing advance nano-scale fibers which provide new materials properties into composites.
Designed and implemented a new transparent armor stack for rock strike-resistant and abrasion-resistant applications.
Produced complex proposal design work for the Army, Navy, Air Force, NASA, and Disney Research; developing advanced composite systems and polymer matrix composites and providing novel polymer fibers for new initiatives by Disney.
Conducted quality assurance for thin metal coatings on electronic parts.
Consulted with team members to analyze and test parts.
Operated megohmmeter and x-ray fluorescence for characterization.
Improved upon method for quality analysis which streamlined the process and made it safer.
The main objectives of the PhD project (which is part of the platform project MiCeTech - Minerals and Cement Process Technology, funded by InnovationsFonden) supported FLSmidth® in their efforts to take their new leach technology - the Rapid Oxidative Leach (ROL) process - to market. A better understanding of the mechanisms and limitations were elucidated through surface spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and computational chemistry.
BIOMATERIALS RESEARCH GROUP Executed and led the design, analysis, and testing of DNA modified by gene therapy carriers to elucidate the mechanism of gene delivery into cells. Collaboration with University of California, Berkeley, to learn how to design and build an optical tweezing instrument, which required a versatile tool kit of skills to complete - circuit board assembly, software and coding troubleshooting, and laser and optics assembly.
Involved in the processing of hollow glass waveguides designed for transmitting terahertz signal for satellite communications and biomedical scanning. Researched the effect of layered polymer and metallic coatings on the inner walls of hollow glass waveguides. Elective classes include Fiber Optics, Optical Materials, Polymer Engineering, and Glass Engineering.
