OBJECTIVE
To obtain a full time position thatallows me to take full advantageof my skill setand apply my knowledge of downstream
processing& biochemical engineeringto a process development rolein the biopharmaceutical industry
EDUCATION
RensselaerPolytechnicInstitute – Troy, NY May 2017
 Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering
o Master’s Project with Dr. Steven Cramer, Concentration: Downstream Processing
o Developing a method to rapidly design and synthesizepeptide ligands thatbind to a protein of interest & exhibit a
high degree of selectivity and elutability usingfluorescenceactivated cell sorting(FACS) as a rationally designed
high-throughput screening mechanismand a potential alternativefor mAb purification
 Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, GPA: 3.73
EXPERIENCE
GLOBALFOUNDRIES Chemical Vapor DepositionTechnologyDevelopmentIntern Summer 2016
 Designed experiments to improve the current process for hydrogen plasma treatment on silicon blanketwafers; arrived ata
new set of conditions for power and soak time that made a previously unusabletechnology become highly viable
 Created a centralized databasefor catalogingwet etch rate and other data indicativeof semiconductor filmquality,
effectively increasingefficiency acrossinterdisciplinary groups by installinga one-stop shop for pertinent data
RegeneronPharmaceuticalsProcess ValidationIntern Summer 2015
 Assessed the viability of implementing single-useitems across themanufacturingprocess;conducted research to determine
how testing of extractables and leachables isperformed and how it compares to industry standards
 Used JMP to analyzehistorical processdata for a MAB (monoclonal antibody) manufacturingprocess;participated in
process monitoringto ensure continued operation and performance within the previously validated state
ChemECar Vice President Fall 2013 – Present
 Supervised design and creation of a pneumatic pressurecar,powered by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
 Competed atthe AIChE ChemE Car Northeast Regional Conference, overcame great odds to win 5th place
Research Assistantfor Dr. Richard Grossat RensselaerPolytechnicInstitute Fall 2013 – Summer2014
 Synthesized & characterized novel bio-based epoxy resins from diphenolic acid (DPA) to replaceuse of bisphenol-A(BPA)
RELEVANT COURSEWORK
Downstream Processingin Biochemical Engineering Fall 2016
 Studied methods of concentration,recovery, and isolation of compounds relevant in biotechnology with a focus on the
advantages and limitations of centrifugation,membranes, cell-disruption,two-phaseextraction and crystallization
LEADERSHIP ROLES
RPI WeightliftingClubPresident Spring 2015 – Present
 Ran weekly meetings to create a close-knitcommunity for weightlifters at RPI, organized and held two powerliftingmeets
as charity fundraisers and lead a team of powerlifters at RPI to compete in the New York State PowerliftingChampionships
