As a Research Project Manager, I oversee the effective allocation of project resources to meet experimental deliverables. My responsibilities include managing supplies, equipment, fabrication, coordination with external vendors, and support from staff and researchers. Prior to project commencement, I focus on scheduling and drafting using software like AutoCAD and Mathcad. At the Davis lab, proficiency in LabVIEW, forklift operation, and electronics are crucial. I ensure all structures are completed well ahead of testing, with comprehensive diagrams prepared three months prior to testing.
