Work Experience
Temporary Product Development Engineer, June 2012 - Present
Cornell University, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY
-Spearheaded the medical device development of a novel gastrostomy port to provide a safer way of enteral feeding to patients requiring supplemental nutrition.
-Collaborated with Cornell faculty and NYP surgeons to develop the gastrostomy port through 3D modeling, engineering design, 3D printing, and testing in animal tissue
Wireline Field Engineer, June, 2007 – February, 2009
Schlumberger Technology Corporation
Roswell, New Mexico
-Responsible for collecting, monitoring, and processing data regarding physical and geological properties of the formation during ‘Open Hole logging’ to evaluate reservoir size, location and production capability.
-Advised the client geologist with real time interpretation of the condition of the wellbore; on multiple occasions saved $10K-$100K by avoiding tool string damage or well collapse.
-Representative on high profile drilling contracts (6-figure contracts), dealing directly with the onsite client representative.
-Performed in high intensity conditions (radiation and poisonous gas exposure), manage rig crew operations, and troubleshoot issues in real-time under constant pressure and a challenging environment.
-Managed 20 students as the Safety Officer during three month engineering school in Scotland.
Physics Research Experience for Undergrads (REU), June-August 2006
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Birmingham, Alabama
-Analyzed the effect of simple aqueous treatment of hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic nanoparticles on particle size, morphology, and composition.
-Adapted novel methods to prepare HA nanoparticles by wet chemical precipitation at different temperatures to deionized water and NaHCO3 aqueous solution at boiling temperatures.
-Applied Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to evaluate the chemical and phase compositions of HA nanoparticle. Part...
