RELEVANT PROJECTS
Thermal Analysis of Green River Oil Shale Aug 2015 – Dec 2015
Project Member
 Performed Thermomechanical Analysis on core shale samples and discovered dimensional change
and thermal expansion
 Utilized Differential thermal analysis, Mass Spectrometer, and Thermogravimetry for studying thermal
behavior and extraction of hydrocarbons/kerogen from oil shale
Effect of Thermal History on Phase Structure of PTT Aug 2015 – Dec 2015
Project Member
 Evaluated effect of thermal history on phase structure of Polytrimethylene Terephthalate through
rapid, slow, and moderate heating and cooling effect using Optical Microscope, Small angle light
scattering, and Differential scanning calorimetry
 Analyzed Polytrimethylene Terephthalate to determine amount of crystalline, amorphous, and rigid
amorphous fraction in each sample
