EXPERIENCE
Research Associate, ACI Technologies, Inc.
May 2008 to Present, Philadelphia, PA
Write ManTech project documents & reports, SBIR proposals, process SOPs, and EMPFasis articles. Write content for organization’s web sites for Best Practices wiki and commercial services. Assist with business development for commercial and research projects. Analyze electronics materials to provide failure analysis and process recommendations for commercial analytical and manufacturing services in an ISO 9001:2008 registered production facility. Quote, manage, and execute multiple laboratory projects, leading to over 60 project reports with greater than $100k in sales. Assisted on more than 40 other projects. Provide instruction on ion chromatography, cleaning, cleanliness, solderability testing, and spectroscopy in Failure Analysis and Reliability Testing in Electronics and Electronics Manufacturing Boot Camp classes offered by the Electronics Manufacturing Learning Center (EMLC) arm of ACI.
Staff Scientist, NanoSelect, Inc.
May 2006 to March 2008, Newark, DE
Designed, synthesized, and analyzed small molecule organics and polymers for functional coatings on CNTs and other electrodes for sensing analytes in aqueous solution. Planned projects, created budgets, and delegated tasks to assist the team in accomplishing common goals.
Postdoctoral Researcher, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division
February 2005 to May 2006, China Lake, CA
Designed and synthesized heterocyclic monomers and polymers for use in electro-optical applications, such as advanced charge storage devices, namely polymeric supercapacitors. Developed experiments to determine the electrochemical properties of the organic polymers and devices. Published one project in the peer-reviewed Journal of the Electrochemical Society 2007, 154 (4), G95-G98. One patent about a polymeric charge storage device is pending.
Graduate Research Assistant, University of Southern California
August 2000 to February 2005, Los Angeles, CA
Graduate Research Assistant, Texas A&M University
August 1999 to August 2000, College Station, TX
Designed and synthesized conjugated polymers, metal-coordinating ligands, and lanthanide complexes for light-emitting applications. Developed experiments to determine the energy transfer parameters for polymers donating energy to visible and infrared emissive materials. Published multiple projects in the MRS, PMSE, and SPIE proceedings. Presented project results to an audience of my peers at MRS and SPIE meetings.
Research Technologist, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville
July 1997 to August 1999, Jacksonville, FL
Synthesized diagnostic tools and therapeutic candidates for muscular and neurodegenerative diseases in the form of carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides, monomers and oligomers of peptide nucleic acids via solution or solid-phase synthesis, which led to multiple publications for the primary investigators.
