B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering concentration (2009-present).
Professional Experience
Federal-Mogul (January 2011 - Present)
Technical Engineer, operated an analytical materials testing lab. Specifics include determining the chemical and physical properties
of different mixtures and pads. Used several types of analyzing machines, such as scanning electron microscope, FTIR, differential
scanning alorimeter, thermogravimetric analyzer, suface area analyzer, and particle size analyzer.
