Experience

Research Assistant
August 2012 to June 2015Norfolk State University － Norfolk, VA

Create thin films of Gold, Silver, Mu- Metal and Perm alloy using thermal evaporation deposition technique.
Characterize magnetic metamaterials such as Iron Oxide nanoparticles, Mu- Metal film and Perm alloy film using Electron Spin Resonance.
Measure thickness of films using profilometer and optical microscopes.
Create Mu- Metal nanoparticles using laser ablation technique.
Study characteristics of metamaterials by creating multilayer structures of metal and dielectric materials.
Use Microsoft Excel to analyze and compare data collected during experiments.
Cleanroom training.

Teaching Assistant
June 2011 to May 2012Benedict College － SC

Teaching assistant for general chemistry lab for non-science majors.
Assist with grading papers and make- up lab administering for general chemistry lab.
Determined which diamagnetic material, Graphite or Bismuth would work best in ambient environment.
Created a novel ambient operating force and acceleration device that would measure acceleration of materials due to an applied magnetic field.
Used MATLAB to create a code to accurately detect and measure current, magnetic field, and acceleration due to the change in magnetic field.
Using the novel ambient operating force and acceleration device and the created code we were able to see that Graphite was more suitable for our detector than Bismuth.

January 2010 to June 2011NASA'S Challenger Learning Center － SC

Assisted mission commanders and students with simulated space missions such as Voyage to Mars and Rendezvous with Comet Halley.
Served as a liaison between students and teachers.
Built and operated model robots, and other creative models to demonstrate how S.T.E.M disciplines are applied to real world applications.
Lead summer robotics building, understanding, and programming class for higher level students.
Reviewed several educational video games such as RoboMath, and Moon Base Alpha for NASA educational game developers.

Accomplishments

Duke Energy To whom it may concern, It was a pleasure meeting the recruiter at the National Society of Black Engineers 41st Annual Convention Career Fair yesterday.
She was a delight to speak with.
She was very informative about opportunities at Duke Energy and how my degrees would be applicable.
As she recommended, I went to the career opportunities web page to apply to the Nuclear Engineer I position in Hartsville, SC and potential job openings.
My goal is to secure an entry-level position in the nuclear field.
Please let me know if there are any other job openings for Physics and Materials Science degrees at your company, or if you have any further suggestions for people whom I should contact regarding open positions.
I have attached my resume for your review.
