Research and Development Intern
Apr 2025 — Present · Kingston, RI, US
Conducted extensive literature reviews on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and polymer material characterization methods.Collaborated with specialists to design and refine experiments, ensuring adherence to SOPs, GLP standards, and sustainable research protocols.Collected, analyzed, and documented experimental data with minimal to no supervision using Instron mechanical testing, electrospinning, Origin, and Microsoft Excel; supporting prototype development and weekly team presentations.Communicated preliminary research findings at the 2024 Rhode Island Research Symposium, translating complex nanomaterial concepts to management, peers, and general audiences.Project: Development of Optical Strain Sensing “Smart Textile” for Non-contact Monitoring of StrainUpdated and maintained SOPs for coaxial electrospinning of SWCNT/PVA cores and PAN/DMF shells.Operated and calibrated high-voltage electrospinning equipment, maintaining flow rates (0.2 mL/h core, 0.8 mL/h shell) and voltages (15–20 kV), resulting in consistent fiber formation over 7-hour time periods.Fabricated and mechanically tested 50+ CNT-embedded textile samples, quantifying hysteresis, elastic modulus, and peak stressDelivered a poster presentation at the 2024 Rhode Island Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium, translating technical results into clear insights for both technical and non-specialist audiences.
