PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
DENTIVIA, LLC, Albany, NY
Research Consultant, 2019 - Present
Developing synthetic dental enamel made from biopolymers derived from tagua and hydroxyapatite.
● Utilization of plasma-assisted wet chemistry for the adsorption of hydroxyapatite onto tagua substrate,
demonstrating proof of concept.
RESEARCH FOUNDATION OF SUNY, Albany, NY
Graduate Research Assistant, 2008 - 2016
Conducted significant research in the field of electrochemistry in collaboration with others, including international
partners. Synthesized materials for testing using wet chemistry, and characterized with both physical and
electrochemical techniques.
● Synthesized an array of nanostructured materials for use as catalyst/support structures in fuel cells, utilizing
a variety of wet chemical techniques.
● Produced MnOx using Hydrothermal Synthesis. Used Taguchi methods and Minitab to optimize synthesis
variables for performance and reliability.
● Accelerated life/reliability testing of Pt/Nb-TiO2 in conjunction with partnering Canadian company.
Discovered and identified cause of unusual behavior in one of the samples.
● Characterized effect of ionomer loading on ORR kinetics of silver nanowires in KOH using CV and
Koutecky-Levich analysis.
● Synthesized TiO2 on carburized Si nanowires using wet chemical techniques for use as alternative
catalyst/support structure in alkaline fuel cells.
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, Albany, NY
Customer Service, 2017 - Present
Interact with the public and provide assistance; help with day-to-day operations.
● Identified software error with one of the devices used.
● Charged with overseeing other staff members after just two years, with increased responsibilities during
period of reduced staffing during COVID-19 pandemic.
SUTHERLAND GLOBAL SERVICES, Rochester, NY
Technical Support Representative, 2007 - 2008
 Operated specialized databases and software to provide technical support to customers. Implemented
creative solutions to troubleshoot root causes of client issues.
