I developed websites for S&A's clients using technologies such as HTML5, ASP.NET, C#, Javascript, JQuery, AJAX, and AngularJS. I loved the small business atmosphere and picking up new skills on the job as the work called for them.

Feb 2012 - Oct 2012
I loved working one-on-one with students in the physics department's learning center. I'm excited about physics, and I tried to encourage the interest of the undergraduates by building webs of physics concepts up from a direct base of students' first-hand experience. Rather than an algorithm to solve a math problem without real-world context, I tried to show students that physics is palpable and intuitive, like mentally projecting the curve of a baseball one throws, and that this is also trigonometry and even vector calculus.

Sep 2010 - Apr 2011
Under Kim Ferris, I developed informatics models of material properties. Working from first physical principles and literature values for existing materials, I developed models to predict the properties of candidate new materials for synthesis. I fit these models primarily via partial least squares analysis and cross-validated within the set of literature values. The models I worked on included material heats of formation, improving the fit of the semi-empirical Kapustinskii equation for lattice energies, and surface defect energies. Show less

While at Rowan, I helped synthesize and characterize binary metal carbides as an intern. I learned how to use the school's scanning electron microscope, tunneling electron microscope, atomic force microscope, Raman spectrometer, sputtering chamber, x-ray diffraction analyzer, and wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence analyzer.
