RND Production Team Intern at LG Energy Solution Michigan (2026-05 – 2026-08)

• Developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for cathode and anode electrode production equipment after independently learning machine functions and troubleshooting methods.
• Analyzed optimal operating speeds for anode electrode production using DaVinci to identify process conditions that improved production efficiency and reduced NG defect holds by 13% in two months.
• Standardized defect prevention measures across multiple production lines, from case-specific solutions to line-wide process controls.

Undergraduate Research (Research Assistant) at Dowling Lab at the University of Notre Dame (2025-08 – 2026-05)

• Built PR and SRK EOS models in Python and generated model diagrams using CoolProp’s Helmholtz EOS.
• Developed a Python model of a basic vapor compression cycle and evaluated refrigerant-application combinations.
• Designed a modular vapor compression cycle simulator to evaluate performance accounting for superheating, supercooling, and isentropic efficiency.

Undergraduate Research (Research Assistant) at McLachlan Lab of the University of Notre Dame (2024-08 – 2024-12)

• Reconstructed 19th-century forest vegetation to establish baseline forest conditions.
• Extracted ecological information from historical surveys conducted in the 1800s for use in PalEON ecological modeling.
• Developed pattern recognition and archival research skills to standardize data via a web-based entry form.
