RELEVANT COURSEWORK
University of California, Riverside
Senior Design: Team CH4in RXN Winter 2016 – Spring 2016
 Designed and simulated a chemical process plant that treats acid gas compounds from a natural gas well and separates its
hydrocarbon components with the target goal of isolating ethane at a high percentage
 Utilized chemical process design programs such as SuperPro and ProII to develop process flow diagrams as well as perform
mass and energy balance calculations
 Collaborated with a team of undergraduate chemical and environmental engineers to perform cost analysis of the plant
simulation, analyze its benefits, and research its possible environmental hazards
Analytical Methods Winter 2016
 Utilized multiple analytical techniques to separate and analyze chemical compounds
 Worked alongside undergraduate engineers within the laboratory to utilize sensitive equipment such as gas chromatographs,
high performance liquid chromatographs, and atomic absorption spectrometers
 Acquired the ability to gather and analyze the data outputted from the aforementioned equipment
Fluid Mechanics Fall 2014
 Acquired the ability to apply fluid mechanics principles to various realistic problems in engineering research and practice
 Assessed mathematicalmodels describing a variety of fluid flow phenomena and applied models to design devices and flow
processes
 Analyzed pressure sensitive systems, such as liquid/gas flow through a pipe
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
University of California, Riverside
Titania Coatings July 2015 – December 2015
 Collaborated with a team of undergraduate chemical and environmental engineers to develop a coating that significantly
reduces NOx pollution in the air upon contact
 Researched environmental problems that arise due to the presence of NOx that exists in emissions of industrial processes
 Performed experiments at the Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT) to measure the percentage
of NOx reduction
