Mechanical Engineer
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
https://www.linkedin.com/company/usnrl
I spent ten weeks working at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, as a Naval Research Enterprise Intern. While at NRL I was able to further expand my thesis research on wearable sensors by exploring novel applications of bulk nanomaterials. In addition to developing my technical research skills by using new lab equipment and learning cleanroom fabrication procedures, I also gained experience in managing a direct report and utilizing lab tech assistance effectively.

Working at GE Global Research was a fantastic opportunity to experience work in a research environment. As a member of an Aerothermal Mechanical team I spent my internship working on a centrifugal compressor test rig. Having never worked in turbomachinery I had quite a bit to learn but was able to contribute to the team in a variety of significant ways. My main responsibilities centered on designing and constructing instrumentation connections for the test rig and also processing calibration data for the instrumentation. In addition to this I worked with a variety of vendors to order not only parts for the rig but also services from suppliers.

Newell Rubbermaid
https://www.linkedin.com/company/newellbrands
I spent twelve weeks working on the food storage team examining life cycle testing procedures to see if they accurately reflected consumer usage. I conducted and analyzed in-depth consumer research to determine usage patterns and applied my findings, along with other consumer insights, to the current test procedures used by the company. My largest accomplishments on this project were detailed updates to current testing procedures and a set of newly created procedures to collect data that was not originally available.

After developing recommendations to procedures for the three main food storage lines I worked to create a product scorecard template that could be used on Rubbermaid products as well as competition. I spent the final stage of my internship creating a time table for implementation of the new scorecard and worked to ensure that ownership of each stage in the process was clearly identified.

Amway
https://www.linkedin.com/company/amway
While working as an engineering intern at Amway I was tasked with creative preventive maintenance plans for fluid handling equipment. In my three months in this position I built and led a cross-functional team to create maintenance protocol and standardized the process for the future development of maintenance plans.

I took advantage of working in a manufacturing environment and took on several additional, smaller projects including the complete tear-down and reassembly of bottle filling equipment. I also worked with process engineers on a daily basis to make improvements to manufacturing lines.

Nanocellulose filters for treating dental wastewater
December 1, 2015
Abstract: The efficiency and selectivity of enzymatic catalysis is useful to a plethora of industrial and manufacturing processes. Many of these processes require the immobilization of enzymes onto surfaces, which has traditionally reduced enzyme activity. However, recent research has shown that the integration of nanoparticles into enzyme carrier schemes has maintained or even enhanced immobilized enzyme performance. The nanoparticle size and surface chemistry as well as the orientation and density of immobilized enzymes all contribute to the enhanced performance of enzyme–nanoparticle conjugates. These improvements are noted in specific nanoparticles including those comprising carbon (e.g., graphene and carbon nanotubes), metal/metal oxides and polymeric nanomaterials, as well as semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots.

Abstract: Nanocarbon allotropes (NCAs), including zero-dimensional carbon dots (CDs), one-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and two-dimensional graphene, exhibit exceptional material properties, such as unique electrical/thermal conductivity, biocompatibility and high quenching efficiency, that make them well suited for both electrical/electrochemical and optical sensors/biosensors alike. In particular, these material properties have been exploited to significantly enhance the transduction of biorecognition events in fluorescence-based biosensing involving Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET). This review analyzes current advances in sensors and biosensors that utilize graphene, CNTs or CDs as the platform in optical sensors and biosensors. Widely utilized synthesis/fabrication techniques, intrinsic material properties and current research examples of such nanocarbon, FRET-based sensors/biosensors are illustrated. The future outlook and challenges for the research field are also detailed.

For my senior capstone project at Purdue University I worked with three other students to design a multi-grain thresher for use in Sub-Saharan Africa. Though the we were able to design and fabricate a prototype in one semester, I applied for and received funding to travel to Cameroon after my graduation to continue volunteer work on the project. While in Cameroon I met with local farmers and collected both qualitative and quantitative data on crops, processing requirements and user requirements.
