Jeremy Nicodemus
Chemical Engineer
I can provide valuable technical skills and knowledge in regards to designing, implementing, controlling industrial processes whether it be for the agricultural, petrochemical, or the pharmaceutical industry. I am well versed in commonly used programs for processing such as Excel and LabVIEW and am able to learn new programs with few difficulties.

To the right is a recent experiment I had conducted where I calculated the residence time of red dye in a container of water. I created a PID controller that recorded the transmittance and absorbance of the water in the container and also measured and changed the flow rate by adjusting the control valve. While a PID controller was not necessary in the script, I decided to make one to show that I am understand how to make one as they are universally used in processes that require automatic control.
To the left is another experiment that I had conducted where my partner and I measured the mole percent of CO2 and pressure difference from the top to the bottom of an adsorption column as the flow rate of water in the column decreased. This was accomplished by creating a LabVIEW script that acquired data as well gradually closing the valve to decrease the flow rate of water. The entire process was automatic with the script even saving the data acquired as Excel files that were later viewed and analyzed. The LabVIEW script was also able to be manipulated so that the control valve of the water can be manually set to open to a certain percent and stay constant.
