University of Arizona, Tucson AZDoctorate of Philosophy, Expected Graduation Date: May 2016; GPA: 3.7/4.0Major: Chemical & Environmental Engineering; Dissertation: Synthesis, Stabilization, Deposition, Patterning and Film Formation from Copper and Aluminum Nanoparticles for Interconnect-Features Fill and Electrical Conduction. DLS, XPS, UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, Zeta, PL, FTIR, and AFM analysis in order to fill interconnect features and other ceramic/barrier/polymer metal 2 & 3-D features with Cu or Al nanoparticles from solution with ligandless nanoparticles remaining in the metal state for extended periods of time. Overall reductions in interconnect-filling waste and process cost are to be achieved with the one pot synthesis of electroplating seed layers.

University of Wyoming, Laramie WY May 2010 - July 2010Department of Chemical & Petroleum Engineering, Research Employee, Dr. Patrick Johnson's Research GroupProcedural Characterization: Raman Measurement Enhancement of Proteins via Gold Nanoparticle and Dye Solutions for Use in Rapid Diagnosis Devices: Project entailed empirical and theoretical calculations of the particle size and Raman signature of gold colloid/dye/protein solutions for use in enhanced Raman disease diagnosis. DLS and UV-Vis were used to determine the optimal concentrations of colloid, dye, and proteins. Raman measurements were taken to determine the maximum signal that could be generated from the complexes. The big picture goal of the project was to develop dye/nanoparticle solutions for the diagnosis of diseases in under 5 min via cheap Raman systems for deployment to Africa
