May 2012 - Jan 2013
I worked with a wide variety of modern lab equipment in a research-and-development environment with one other chemical engineering intern. We each independently formulated procedures to develop new, cost-effective products and scaled them up for production. Additionally, I revisited existing large-scale procedures on a lab-scale to increase control, efficiency, and output.
