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.
