Project Experience:
-Senior Research Capstone Project
06/2011 - Present
Project focus is on altering the morphology of organic semiconductors
in organic field-effect
transistors (OFETs) in order to optimize various electrical
properties, particularly electron mobility.
Involves hands-on experience with various nanoscale analytical and
fabrication techniques, including
physical vapor deposition and atomic force microscopy. Provides
familiarity with microelectronics
testing procedures and experience in a materials processing and
chemistry lab.
-Senior Engineering Capstone Project
01/2012 - Present
Project goal is to select the optimal material for the coating of a
titanium-alloy aerospace component.
Several factors must be balanced, including cost, weight, oxidation
resistance, and tolerance to heat.
Strong emphasis on project planning and team organization. Extensive
use of Gantt charts and figure
of merit calculations.
-Boeing Student Mock-Project on Design of Satellite Side Plate
09/2010 - 12/2010
Worked with a Boeing mentor and a group of fellow MSE undergraduates
in a quarter-long mock-
project to design a satellite side plate. Project emphasis was on
material selection and optimization of
various material properties vs. budget. Provided the opportunity to
work in a small group setting within
a larger corporate structure, and to learn professional design,
presentation, and budgeting skills.
-Junior Lab Project Effects of Human Tears on Contact Lens Circuitry
09/2010 - 06/2011
Culmination of year-long lab class: researched contact lens circuitry
technology currently being
developed at the University of Washington. Designed multiple
experiments to test the effects of
sodium ion concentrations on 1N4004 silicon diode I-V
characteristics. Executed an experiment,
analyzed data, and presented findings to class.
Work Experience:
-Parking Assistant - International Parking Management
06/2011 - 02/2012
Assisted in organization and parking for events at Safeco Field and
Centurylink Field.
Occasionally managed other workers in small lots.
-Physics Tutor - Center for Learning and Undergraduate Enrichment
04/2009 - 09/2010
Peer-tutored introductory physics to fellow undergraduates.
Collaborated in small groups with students
and other tutors. Gave review session presentations to large classes
before midterms and finals.
-Concessions Worker - Safeco Field
06/2011 - 09/2011
Worked at a concessions stand during home games and special events.
Served food to customers,
developing customer service skills.
-Student Assistant - University of Washington Medical Library
06/2010 - 09/2010
