At Nanoramic, we are thrilled to have amazing interns join us each summer and take on impactful and challenging roles. Continuing with our Q&A series highlighting our summer interns, we are excited for Jordan Tierney, a Battery Materials Intern, to share more about their background and work this summer.   1) What sparked your interest in the field of batteries and interning at Nanoramic? Jordan: Studying materials science and engineering inspires me to want to solve important problems through materials development. One of the biggest issues globally right now is climate change, and batteries are going to be a critical part of that solution in so many ways. Nanoramic's work is really exciting to me because we are working to produce high-performance materials while eliminating harmful components like PFAS and NMP, without sacrificing efficiency.   2) What have you been working on this summer? Jordan: I've spent a lot of time in the lab this summer, with my main focus being on electrode production, especially electrode coating. However, I've been lucky to get exposure to every part of battery development, from slurry production to cell assembly and testing. One of the things I've really liked about my time at Nanoramic is the variety of tasks I've gotten to work on, which has allowed me to learn a lot very quickly.   3) What are your future goals and what skills or knowledge have you gained during your internship that you hope to use in achieving those goals? Jordan: I'm not exactly sure what the future holds, but one thing that is really important to me is using engineering to make a difference. Working at Nanoramic has helped me understand so much more about the challenges and opportunities in the battery industry, and given me the chance to learn from so many people who are passionate about solving those problems. Being a part of such a dynamic team has given me a lot of flexibility and experience in different areas, which will be useful no matter what comes next for me.   4) What has been your favorite part about interning at Nanoramic, including outside of the work itself? Jordan: The best part has definitely been the people. Working for a smaller company has the benefit of getting to know and work with everyone in the team. Everyone at Nanoramic works so well together and is more than happy to help, and as an intern, that's really valuable because I feel comfortable asking anyone a question or to explain what they are working on, which has helped me learn so much. I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to work with such a great team as we've got at Nanoramic!   If you are interested or know someone interested in an exciting, challenging, and rewarding internship opportunity, please reach out to us!   #Internship #SummerInternship #STEM #CleanTech #CleanEnergy #BatteryTechnology #Neocarbonix

🌟 Reflecting on My Internship Journey in Applied Materials🌟 I recently wrapped up my incredible 6-month internship at Applied Materials, and what an enlightening experience it has been! 🚀 As an Industrial Engineering student, diving into the heart of this cutting-edge industry has been both challenging and rewarding. 💡 Lessons Learned 💡 The experience has been a treasure trove of lessons. Every day, from optimizing manufacturing processes to understanding the intricate steps between technology and production efficiency, brought a new learning opportunity. Here are a few key takeaways: 1️⃣ Efficiency is Key: Witnessing firsthand how small changes in processes can lead to substantial gains in efficiency was mind-blowing. It reinforced the importance of continuous improvement. For example, in one of my projects, I had the opportunity to identify the amount of idle time machine tests have using Python, by eliminating this inefficiency, it will improve the whole manufacturing process! 2️⃣ Collaboration is Everything: Working shoulder to shoulder with cross-functional teams emphasized the power of collaboration. The magic happens when diverse minds unite for a common goal. During the last phase of my internship, I worked with colleagues from other departments to develop the current dashboard used in the factories using web development languages. 3️⃣ Adaptability is a Superpower: The semiconductor industry moves at lightning speed. Being adaptable and open to change became second nature, and it’s a skill I’ll carry forward. 🔍 Peek Into the Semiconductor World 🔍 Being part of the journey in the semiconductor world unveiled the complexities behind the chips powering our daily lives. From concept to creation, witnessing the manufacturing stages was awe-inspiring. It's remarkable how the tiniest components contribute to monumental technological advancements. 🙌 Gratitude and Looking Ahead 🙌 A massive shoutout to the incredible mentors and colleagues at Applied Materials. Thank you Kevin Chen Xiaojie, Emily Su, C K Sowmithri and other colleagues from the IE department! Their constant guidance and support transformed this internship into an invaluable experience. I am immensely grateful to the HR team in Applied Materials Lidya Suryani for not only paving the way for this incredible learning opportunity but also organising incredible events for interns to participate in and multiple networking sessions! As I bid adieu to this chapter, I'm excited to apply these learnings and insights to my future endeavours at the Georgia Institute of Technology next semester. The semiconductor industry has left an indelible mark on my career path, and I can’t wait to see where these lessons take me next!

What you are about to read actually happened recently. Intern Mentor: "What is your biggest concern about your upcoming Biotechnology internship this summer?" Intern: "I am nervous because I am not an expert on the Biotech industry." Intern Mentor: "You just finished Freshman Year in college, how could you possibly have expertise in the Biotech industry? They hired you fully well knowing that." Students today have all kinds of anxieties - some of which they invent. Then they struggle internally all summer because they aren't something no one expected them to be in the first place. They struggle to embrace themselves as they are and, more importantly, as they are not. Please order How To Intern Successfully for your incoming intern today. Let your intern be empowered to give themselves Grace this summer. Please also order Intern Management today. Give yourself the tools and perspectives to Empower yourself and your intern. Please Repost so this message gets out there far and wide. We are out to bring dignity to the internship discourse. It starts with you. Thank you. #innovation #internships #management
