Experience

• 

  Gulf Laboratory Services, Star Energy Services

  May 1998 - Jul 1998

  Undergraduate Intern

  Trained and performed ASTM standardized tests for quality assessment of jet fuel, gasoline, and water run-offs from storage sites. Tests included determination of aerosol flammability, chemical and physical properties, chemical reactivity, combustible dust hazards, electrostatic properties, flash point, fire point, flammable limits, and minimum ignition energy.
