I have been employed in laboratory and research settings for my previous co-op positions with Xerox Research Centre of Canadas New Material Design and Synthesis group, SC Johnson and Sons Quality Assurance Lab, and Dr. Leonardo Simon's Nanomaterials lab group in the Chemical Engineering department at the University of Waterloo. Currently, I am working with Dr. Sharizad Esmaeili in the Mechanical Engineering Department pursuing research in microhardness evolution in aluminum alloys. Through this laboratory experience I have developed practical and analytical skills and received a great deal of exposure to tools and techniques pertinent to nanotechnology research. This includes nanoparticle synthesis, optical microscopy, electron microscopy, spectroscopic techniques, and semiconductor fabrication with performance evaluation. The Nanotechnology Engineering academic recipe has allowed me to gain a breadth of knowledge in the areas of chemistry, biology, physics, materials science and engineering. Specialties Materials Science, Semiconductors, Microfabrication and Thin Films, Macromolecular Science, Nanosystem CAD, Surface Science and Catalysis.
