As a research assistant, I worked to further developed an existing setup and measurement of contact resistance of coatings on metallic bipolar plates designed for fuel cells. Apart from that I have worked to optimize the design of an existing test cell unit to facilitate spatially resolved characterization of automotive fuel cell analysis. The work was continued as my Master Thesis later.

I was responsible for coordinating and implementing the requirements of ISO / IEC 17025:2005. I also supported the team to maintain an audit system to successfully run a QMS, organize the intra and inter laboratories verification practices. Other important responsibility were to ensure timely calibration and maintenance of the equipment, maintaining liaison with local and overseas organizations on matters concerning QA and laboratory accreditation and identifying potential areas for improvement.

I received training on maintenance of utility services (HVAC, electricity and compressed air supply etc.), effluent treatment plant (ETP), production process control and management system.
