After I graduated, I transferred to USF to study Chemical Engineering, during a tour before being enrolled at the University of South Florida; The tour group walked by a building named the Nanotechnology Research & Education Center otherwise known as the NREC. I later revisited the NREC with resume in hand for an interview with the current director of the facility, after obtaining my Student ID I was allowed to volunteer, and began my nanotechnology education assisting the staff and graduate researchers at the NREC as a volunteer engineer assistant, research engineer assistant, and research scientist assistant training on the wafer dicing saw, x-ray crystallography diffractometer, and clean room safety procedure that summer.

2012-NREC Metrology Engineer Assistant: In the summer of 2012 while assisting and training with (Rich Everly) the Cleanroom Engineer at the NREC; The Metrology Research Engineer suggested asked if I knew what a Jacobs ladder was; After responding no; He suggested that he recently came into possession of a couple 6Kv 100mA oil igniters and suggested that if I was interested I should build a Jacobs ladder; After assuring me the 6Kv 100mA Jacobs ladder was only lethal if you took a direct shock to the heart, or for a child he handed me two copper wires, and I started my first electrical project ever! The Cleanroom engineer supplied a power cord and let me borrow a wire stripper and provided instructions on how to strip the power cord; and after maybe seeing me leave the cleanroom engineer suggested that I make sure the cord is not plugged into the power strip while splicing wires. With those safety precautions in mind, I began to try a built my first prototype of a 6Kv 100mA Jacob's ladder: Followed by 2-3 more prototypes & improvements with the help of the NREC Staff and the USF machine shop that resulted in the Jacobs ladder that may still be on display at the NREC.

After completing/ attempting to complete multiple projects; and continuing to assist the cleanroom engineer with cleanroom maintenance and assisting graduate student staff members. Eventually, was invited to SEM training by the Metrology Research Engineer.

2012-NREC Metrology Research Scientist: Began to train on the Focused Ion Beam observing Metrology Research Scientist FIB Sessions and assisting the Metrology Research Scientist with Carbon Sputtering of Samples; filling up the nitrogen tank, pouring liquid nitrogen into a liquid nitrogen.

Project v.1 Jacob's ladder

- Jacobs ladder prototype 1- 2 pieces of 10'" (1/2 a cm) copper wire, oil igniter (6Kv; 100 mA power supply), a power cord, a cell phone holder and a switch.
- Used pliers to turn copper wire around positive and negative terminal of the oil igniter cut tip of power cord and peeled back rubber protective coating, used wire stripper to strip positive & negative wires spliced power cord wires to positive and negative wires of oil igniter plugged in device to power strip. listened for buzzing noise. unplugged from the power strip. adjusted copper wires 1 centimeter at base to 2 centimeters at top of ladder.
- added a switch; un-spliced power cord wires from positive and negative wires of power supply; Spliced positive and negative wires to positive & negative wires of switch; spliced positive and negative wires at other side of switch to positive and negative wires of terminal; plugged power cord into power strip hopefully with the switch in the closed position. Flipped switch to open position, observed space between copper wires for ionized air/plasma between copper wires. Observed density differential caused by the heat of the plasma; creating an upward movement of the plasma between the copper wires until reaching the apex or top of the ladder. Then the dissolution of the plasma at the top of the device and the formation of a new plasma at the bottom of the copper wires where the copper wires are closest.
- Prototype v.2 Jacob's ladder
- Used brackets to fasten 2 plywood boards together at a 90-degree angle to protect individuals from the ionized air/plasma between the copper wires and fastened power supply to the bottom board.
- Prototype v.3 Plexi-glass safety cover
- Unfastened power supply from plyboard, un-spliced power cord, switch, and power supply wires; Used a personal cell phone stand as a holder for the power supply; Used Dremel tool to saw and cut beams & boards out of cell phone stand to fit power supply into cleared out cell phone stand box; fastened oil igniter power supply to cell Phone stand box; fitted switch into back of cell phone stand horizontally. Plugged power cord in and tested device. Observed successful Ionization of air/plasma between copper wires.
- Prototype v.4 Worked with machine shop for final adjustments to Jacob's ladder for NREC demonstrations
- From an oil igniter, power cord , cell phone stand and Plexi-glass, worked with machine shop staff cell phone stand to protect users from ionized air/plasma generated from the 6000v 100mA power supply; staff assisted with drilling holes for fastening screws and added top for extra safety to cut spacings for cell phone holder and cutting spacings to allow for the wood box to flex allowing plexiglass to fit securely into cell phone stand box.
