Ross W.J. Hamilton ------------ ? ------------ ? ------------/in/rosswjhamilton/
Professional Summary: UCLA graduate with a B.S degree in Chemical Engineering, concentrating in biotechnology and tech management. Spent three summers interning at Genentech (Oceanside, CA) and the 2018 summer interning at Pacira Pharmaceuticals. Experienced in leadership roles including the Director of Recruitment for Blockchain at UCLA and former President of a Speech and Debate team for two years. Committed to thriving in a challenging work environment.
Education University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Sept 2015 to Jun 2019 Bachelor of Science, Chemical Engineering, Technology Management concentration Los Angeles, CA • Upper Division GPA: 3.4/4.0 (Engineering Dean’s Honors List 2019) • Relevant Coursework: Chemical Reaction Engineering, Process Dynamics and Control, Process Economics and Analysis, Transport Phenomena, Separation Processes, Chemical Process Computer-Aided Design and Analysis
Work Experience Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Jun to Sept 2018 Process Engineering Intern San Diego, CA • Executed product trials on a novel membrane filtration skid. Assembled skid and performed an engineering and design analysis before introducing membrane to commercial product for operational trials. Analyzed and compiled skid performance data, with regards to product integrity after cycling through new equipment. • Presented findings to engineers and senior management. Work resulted in enhanced understanding of the fundamentals driving the formulation process and improved product quality. • Created a piping and instrumentation design using CAD of an Argon pressurization system in product storage facility.
UCLA Chemical Engineering Graduate Research Program Sept 2017 to Mar 2018 Research Assistant Los Angeles, CA • Assisted UCLA Thermodynamics professors and engineering graduate students with measuring and calculating concentration profiles of elemental species in semiconductor structures. • Research published by graduate students in Apr 2018.
Genentech, Inc. Jul to Sept 2015, 2016, & 2017 Science & Engineering Dept. Intern Oceanside, CA • 2015: Investigated and analyzed data for load cells on a vessel that was giving inconsistent feedback. Assembled and delivered a presentation encouraging the implementation of guided-wave radars in the plant. Successfully initiated and installed in the company in Nov 2015, achieving improved equipment performance. • 2016: Worked with a task force to compile validation protocols to ensure good manufacturing practices were correctly followed and assisted in the creation of multiple, safety-based SOPs. • 2017: Researched new software to consolidate and facilitate drug manufacturing processes and presented conclusions to a team of engineers. Software is currently being adopted by process development and site teams.
Leadership Experience and Academic Awards/ Honors • UCLA Engineering Dean’s Honors List 2019 • Chosen to speak on a panel of UCLA engineers to a group of prospective applicants (2016) • State and National wins/recognition at several Speech and Debate competitions (President of team 2013-2015)
Technical Skills/Activities • Experienced in MATLAB, Excel, CAD, Pro/II, cGMP, and P&IDs • Director of Recruitment for Blockchain at UCLA (Jan 2018- Jun 2019) • Active member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) (2017-Present) • Volunteer for CALPIRG’s New Voters Project (helped 40,000 students register to vote in the 2016 elections)
