Electrochemical Study and Scale-up of Metal Anode Hybrid Battery Supercapacitor Devices

Safety Modeling of Thermal Runaway in Lithium-ion Batteries

Assembled lithium rich ion batteries using sol-gel method, and developed lithium solid state batteries using lithium rich cathode material and different polymer electrolytes. Utilized different physical and electrochemical characterizations such as UV-VIS, Raman Spectroscopy, NMR Spectroscopy, SEM, STEM, TEM, CV, EIS, GCD, and Cycling Stability Test for battery studies. Learned basic density functional theory functions using VASP for battery modeling applications

Researched and developed sodium ion materials using sol-gel method battery applications Calcined the synthesized sodium materials at extremely high temperatures and was structurally analyzed using X-ray Diffraction technique Assembled half-cell sodium cathode material coin cells for electrochemical studies inside the glovebox

Conducted QA/QC on fiber optic network designs of the project network planners by providing geospatial and software analysis checks in making sure that optimal output were submitted to telco and engineering clients Lead multiple QA team in different projects in delivering quality end to end design outputs and also conducting different tests in the configuration and update of auto design tools using Python Trained and managed incoming QA people in projects so they will be equipped with the proper QA/QC skills in delivering optimal network design output Joined client meeting calls to discuss architectures and issues in the fiber optic network designs that were discussed internally in the project to deliver output within the project's timelines

Created optimized fibre optic network designs for ISPs using GeoInformation System and auto design tools such as Python and QGIS that minimize network material costs. Trained the new network planners about different network architectures and auto design tools in delivering end to end fibre optic network designs

Answered academic questions of students on Mathematics from Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus, and Linear Algebra Evaluated students’ answers by explaining written step by step concepts that are easy to understand

Provided all around services such as but not limited to virtual assistance, social media management, project management, community engagement, data entry, and research to individuals and companies

Performed sales and marketing in promoting traditional and variable unit linked (VUL) insurance Attended seminars and workshops about personal development, sales management, social media marketing, and marketing strategies

My research topic was focused on Electrochemistry and Energy Storage Devices specifically on Flexible Supercapacitors of the Electrochemistry and Nanomaterials Laboratory of Research Center for Natural and Applied Sciences (RCNAS). The research project was funded by University of Santo Tomas Graduate School - Research Center for Natural and Applied Sciences (RCNAS) and Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI). Fabricated Banana Cotton Fabric with Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) and Polypyrrole (PPy) as Supercapacitor Electrode Materials Characterized these fabricated electrode materials using different physical, electronic, and electrochemical techniques such as but not limited to Cyclic Voltammetry, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, and Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge Test Performed unit cell testing and data validation using data analysis tools such as but not limited to Origin and Microsoft Excel Developed a full cell three electrode flexible supercapacitor
