Purdue University Ph. D. student with lab training at the Composites Manufacturing &
Simulation Center within the Indiana Manufacturing Institute.
Summer 2014, awarded the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) at Michigan
Technological University. The work’s goal was to understand the mechanical properties of
graphene nanoplatelet/carbon fiber/epoxy hybrid composites. Tensile tests were conducted
to determine the samples’ modulus.
Summer 2015, interned at Dow Corning in their Science and Technology division. Studied the
separation dynamics of volatile organic compounds using liquid absorption. Trained on digital
scanning calorimeter, vapor sorption analyzer, FTR-IR spectroscopy, and gas chromatography
in order to characterize the separation. Additionally, designed and constructed the absorbing
and desorbing columns (bench scale) used in the study.
