  Research Intern

  Helped develop high-strength

  low cost aluminum-phosphate based refractory ceramics (CERCANAM®). Experience in bulk shape forming

  strengthening

  characterization

  processing and testing for refractory applications.\n\nWorked on low temperature formation of advanced ceramics and composite concrete based on fly-ash

  a landfill material given off as a by-product of the coal burning industry.\n\nParticipated in biocompatible ceramic research. I was involved in synthesis of antiseptic dissolvable post-surgery ceramic inserts and precision pore size and distribution control in tape-cast hydroxy-apatite to allow bone ingrowth into ceramic scaffolding.

  INVESTIGATING STRUCTURE-PROPERTY CORRELATIONS WITH POSITION AND SERVICE LIFE IN ELECTRODEPOSITION STEEL CATHODES.

  Investigated stainless steel plates used for copper purification using a variety of characterization techniques to determine source of degrading properties. Developed experiments and tests to investigate (including writing and executing protocols) for phase identification

  physical stresses

  electrical properties

  surface roughness

  and other parameters. Analyzed results and gave suggestions to the company for implementing a program to help mitigate degradation.

  Energy Materials Datamining Project

  The energy materials datamining project was constructed with several goals in mind\n\n(1) Provide a simple and effective screening tool for comparing many compounds and materials systems for any application where multiple parameters compete for priority.\n\n(2) Provide the community of energy materials researchers

  specifically

  a tool to summarize data

  organize DOI links and view performance of a wide variety of materials.\n\n(3) Introduce scarcity and HHI parameters in order to quantifiably consider practical limitations such as cost

  supply of materials and abundance.
