About
PhD in Chemical Engineering with
ability to take initiative and
ownership of tasks/projects/writing
projects. Experienced in
synthesis/fabrication of
polymer/membranes, electrodes, and
custom cell designs for
electrodialysis, microbial
electrolysis, Donnan dialysis, and
fuel cells. Especially skilled in ion
exchange membranes synthesis and
proficient in using electrospinning
apparatus and analysis equipment
(e.g., NMR, TGA, DSC, SEM, and FT-IR).
Experienced in using membrane-based
separations in waste(water) treatment
and direct capture of CO2 from the
air. Research related to and skills in
electrodeposition coating and
microbial corrosion control of
concrete and metals. Proficiency in
MATLAB as a programming language and
familiarity with industry process
simulation tools (e.g., Aspen Plus and
HYSYS). Experienced in preparing a
variety of moderately complex process
engineering deliverables: PFDs,
P&IDs, Equipment Datasheets and
Specifications. Assisted in writing
and editing white papers, NSF, and
other types of proposals for funding
to support research efforts and
generating reports about projects.
Effective communication skills and the
motivation to take on challenging work
and delivering technical information
to a broad range of audiences as
evidenced by seven peer-reviewed
articles and several conference
presentations. Demonstrated leadership
ability through teaching at university
as an instructor for more than five
years and working with
interdisciplinary teams at Arizona
State University as a postdoctoral
research associate for one year.
