• Project Assistant

  • Aug 2015 - Nov 2015

  Before joining my Ph.D., I worked as a short-term employee on processing polymer-based electrolyte membranes for fuel cell applications. The work involved the bulk synthesis of polybenzimidazole and optimizing the mechanical properties by tracking viscosity.
