      Jun 2017 - Aug 2017
      Engineering Intern

      I assisted in creation of slurries and application of wash coats to substrates. In order to help predict catalyst lifetime, I operated a surface area and porosity instrument (BET) and collaborated with Project Engineers and a Laboratory Specialist. Additionally, I organized previous jobs and reformatted data to improve efficiency of looking up past jobs.

      Engineering Intern

      I worked with a laboratory specialist to develop catalyst wash coats and test catalytic converters that have been sent in from clients for analysis. Collaborating with project engineers, I helped determine predicted catalyst life. To calculate surface area and porosity of the catalyst samples that we test, I operated a BET machine. I used Excel macros to increase efficiency of making worksheets during catalyst formation.
