  • Improved warehouse efficiency by organizing and maintaining dock workstations to ensure smooth operations.
  • Expedited shipping process by accurately loading and unloading trucks, reducing time spent on manual inventory checks.
  • General knowledge of how conveyor belt systems operate and trouble-shooting jams.
  • Power equipment certified - including: forklift, extended reach truck, scissor lift, small crane, and excavator.

Researcher

NKU Dept. of Physics
01.2016 - 01.2021
  • Run simulations and analyze data collected from CERN for detection of Cosmic Rays by modeling what was, in April 2017, launched on SpaceX-12 and attached to the ISS
  • Using GEANT4 and C++ coding techniques, we can best prepare for what may happen whilst ISS-CREAM is in flight.

  • Novel bisquinoline derivatives of tetraazamacrocyclic compounds, namely 4-10-bis(7-chloroquinoline)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane [and four others not listed here] which are potential anti-cancer drugs have been synthesized
  • The macrocyclic framework had to be modified to allow attachment of the substituent (4,7-dichloroquinoline) at the nitrogen atom
  • The initial synthesis by direct derivatization was inefficient for selective functionalization and consequently the desired product was isolated in low-yield (approx
  • 10-15%)
  • We have found that choosing N-methylpyrolidinone as the reaction solvent, with trimethylamine as a base, and elevating reaction temperatures, the desired product was achieved with yields of up to 45%.

  • Microfluidic technology, such as "drug on a chip", has made targeting specific in vitro targets more possible than ever
  • Using optimized formulations, we are able to maximize drug loading over previous homogenization methods.

  • Dehydrobenzoannulenes (DBAs) are molecules with benzene rings separated by a carbon-carbon triple bond
  • These molecules have unusual chemical and physical properties - hence, the interest in the project
  • We expect these DBAs to be used in the design and manufacturing of nanoelectronics (e.g
  • Molecule size wires, logic gates, and memory storage devices).
