Confidential, NY

Graduate Research Assistant

Responsibilities:

  • Supervised the operation of an in-situ tube furnace. Coordinated any equipment upgrades of the reactor. Tracked reactor repairs to establish a routine maintenance schedule.
  • Designed a reactor set-up used for CO 2 hydrogenation of tungsten carbide catalyst at high pressures.
  • Developed test methods for evaluating material properties using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography and six-sigma tools. Wrote standard operating procedures based on these test methods.
  • Participated twice in EHS training and supervised safety in laboratory.
  • Maintained chemical inventory, logs, and safety documentation which included material safety data sheets, standard operating procedures, and a master chemical list for chemicals stored in the alternative energy and catalysis research lab.
  • Created and maintained documentation such as PFD’s, PMFEA’s, and P&ID’s.
  • Manufactured high surface area tungsten carbide catalyst using four different methods. Compared and analysed all those methods and developed an optimized process to increase yield and percentage loading of metal
