Frank A Reyes

Coordinated the relocation of the Chemistry department from Physical Sciences

ACCOMPLISHME

Building to the new Chemistry & Computer Science Building

NTS

Assisted in maintaining compliance in the labs according to the regulatory standards

through lab inspections, air pressure testing, fumehood air flow testing, eye wash and

shower testing, and chemical waste collection and retrieval

Help reduce the Chemistry department equipment inventory overhead from $1.1

million to $700K by keeping a running inventory throughout the fiscal year

Repaired and maintained department equipment such as UV Vis, FT IR, LC MS,

Spectrometer, spectrophotometers, and DSC that were used in the teaching labs

Contributed to the published article, “A Soil Moisture Point for Mature Pecan to

Maintain Health Growth,” authored by Nicole Kyger; soil data such as temperature,

moisture content, and EC was collected and entered into a database using ECHO

Moisturing Measuring system that measured these characteristics at a 15min interval.

Data was used to propose an irrigation schedule while maximizing the limited water

resource.

COORDINATOR I – LAB & RESEARCH, UTEP

PROFESSIONAL

EXPERIENCE AUGUST 2009 PRESENT

Coordinate department activities and needs with other departments on campus such

Facilities, IT, Purchasing, EH&S, and Accounts Payable and outside vendors and

visitors; Coordination involved with waste collection and preparation for EH&S,

creation of Purchase orders for department purchases usually greater than $25K,

collecting and routing invoices to Account Payable, Ordering and receiving chemicals,

creating MSDS notebooks for department labs, assisted EH&S in lab inspections,

assist in the investigating and assessing minor lab incidents, eye wash and shower

testing, measuring for positive room pressure, measuring flow hood air flows,

investigating problems in the labs i.e. gas cylinders, inoperable equipment. Repaired

and maintained lower end chemistry equipment such UV Vis, IR, spectrometers such

as LC MS, and DSC that were used in the teaching labs. Delivered purchased items

received in central receiving. Occasionally taught faculty and students on using

department equipment. Served as point of contact for any invoice problems with

outside vendors. Served as department representative in meetings involved with the

relocation of the chemistry department to the new building. Served as point of contact

for any building issues affecting the chemistry department such power outages, and

water leaks.

TECHNICIAN I, TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE RESEARCH CENTER

APRIL 2008 – AUGUST 2009

Responsible for field data collection and compilation of water and soil samples; run

permeability tests, and infiltration tests; Collected water samples for chemical

analyses along Rio Grande River and throughout El Paso County; Measured canal

and drainage water flow rates with Flow Tracker and River Surveyor; Collected soil

samples of varying depths to measure EC, Moisture content, and pH; Downloaded

soil data such EC, soil moisture, and temperature on Tony Rancic's pecan farm; after

download, the data was compiled together into a spreadsheet to graphically illustrate

the water profile. Once a month, the water table on the pecan farm was measured and

entered into a spreadsheet to show current water levels; Using soil data collecting

system from Decagon, a simple soil data measurement was set up for a cotton farm in

Ft Hancock. Soil moisture and EC was collected and compiled to assist the farmer

with irrigation schedule; perform chemical analysis of water and soil sample using the

IC and ICP measuring for ion concentration.
