EDUCATION
University of Wisconsin – Madison
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, 2015 GPA: 3.63/4.00
EXPERIENCE
Equistar Chemicals | LyondellBasell Industries – Tuscola Plant
Chemical Process Engineer I, Microthene Unit, August 2015 – Present
Equistar Chemicals | LyondellBasell Industries – Cincinnati R&D Center
R&D Engineering Co-Op III, Applications Development, May 2014 – August 2014 (4 months)
- Performed statistical studies of impact strength testing for blown polyethylene films using probit analysis and logarithmic regression modeling in JMP and Minitab to further develop and characterize the advantages of the Super-Hexene product line.
- Interfaced with manufacturing to investigate premature degradation in medical-grade Tyvek resin. Implemented a sampling plan with limited analytical resources, and analyzed sample data with JMP to determine the relevant process variables that led to degradation. Solution presented to upper-management.
