Work History
Research Assistant
Lamar University
07.2021 - 04.2022
- Conducted experiments to measure and analyze retention forces of liquids on metal surfaces to predict rust formation in industrial pipelines.
- Utilized specialized instrument (Centrifugal Adhesion Balance) to quantify adhesion strength accurately.
- Collected and analyzed data, identifying correlations between liquid properties, surface characteristics, and rust formation.
- Maintained laboratory equipment, ensuring proper functioning and calibration for accurate measurements.
- Results indicate that there is a positive correlation between adhesion strength and the duration the metal surface is exposed to acid.
