Objective
A position in research and development in polymer science, leading to management positions.
Qualifications
Proficient of Excel, Word, and Outlook. Excellent problem solving and communication skills, and previous polymer experience in industry and academics. Experience in polymer characterization (light scattering) and chemical synthesis.
Education
Chemistry Honours, University of British Columbia
BSc. expected in April 2017.
Experience
May 2015 – August 2015
Research Membrane Co-Op
Designed polymeric membrane materials for use in ventilation exchangers. Developed new methods and apparatuses for testing these materials and processed data using Excel, reported findings to R&D team.
September 2014 – December 2015
Process Engineering Co-Op
Synthesized polymer latexes via emulsion polymerization at bench top scale. Designed formulations based on data from previous ones to tailor the properties of latex. Analyzed latexes for particles and molecular weight. Successfully scaled up formulations to pilot plant scale for customer projects.
January 2014 – August 2014
Research Co-Op Assistant
Designed new cementitious materials for use in crack sealing. Tested viscosity, flow, adhesion, compressive strength, air content, and particle size to determine optimal formulations. Routinely performed quality control of batches and quality assurance for customers to ensure quality of products and find meaningful solutions for customer needs.
