      Researched engine oil improvements by generating and analyzing data to be used in oil property performance models. Performed multiple industry quality tests on various personally blended formulations, which were sampled over time to determine oil composition. Determined oil composition through Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and developed automated MatLab GC-MS analysis program to aid in analysis. Researched additive packs to prolong life of engine oil, which resulted in possible patentable discovery. Show less
