Goal Statement

Transition to Private Sector into a role that draws upon chemical / physics engineering and mathematics experience, high competence in computing at the supercomputer scale / AI to make high impact in industrial and business settings.

Background

I am a chemical engineer with extensive experience in physics & high-performance computing focused on advancing organic optoelectronics - especially OLED device physics, light-extraction, and display-system performance - as well as molecular dynamics of polyalkanes, polyether & polysilicone materials in mixed solvents (water and one of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol).

Personal Statement

In my next role, I would like to use these unique knowledge, skills, and competencies to problem-solve at the intersection of chemistry, physics, materials, electromagnetics, and engineering problems with use of high-performance research computing systems.  I bring an IP-savvy lens with over 7 years in US utility patent  prosecution to identify what is truly novel, obvious, feasible, and scalable. 

Transferable Skills: Civil Service to Private Sector

• Leader – Helped other Examiners within the Art Unit (AU) and outside the AU to work on improving knowledge and competencies of best examining practices. 

• Planning – I use Office / Outlook / Teams best practices to schedule and keep track of time and activities.  Correctly and accurately record time and attendance in WebTA. 

• Teacher – Taught others how to use restriction Form Paragraphs (FPs) from AUs that don’t typically do Election / Restrictions. 

• Team Builder – Work in my art unit on Quality Enhancement Meeting (QEM) activities and group problem-solving to achieve efficiency in examination practices. 

• Customer Service – Dealing with non-government employees / Attorneys / Applicant’s representatives to prosecute patent applications in the Chemical and Biological areas.
