SPECTROSCOPIC RESEARCH IV - YOUNGSTOWN, OH

Forensic Spectroscopic Research and Analysis

Research Assistant, Summer 2009

Focused primarily on Spectroscopic Analysis, the objective of that

internship was to run tests on older molecules and compounds and see if

they have decomposed, or stayed relatively intact. Nuclear Magnetic

Resonance was the main focal point. I took samples created by previous

graduate students under Dr. Peter Norris's, regardless of if they were

crystals, solids, or liquids and dissolved them up in CDCl3 (deuterated

Chloroform) and various other solvents.

Key Results:

Learned how to use the Mass Spectrometer Instrumentation

Gained insight on testing unknowns by figuring out what is the sample, and

if the sample has decomposed

Medicinal synthetic Organic RESEARCH III & II - Youngstown, OH

Creating potential anti-infective compounds to fight against diseases

Research Assistant, Summer 2008 and

2007

Successfully incorporated a new method for azide synthesis that has

recently been developed in our (YSU-Norris Group) laboratory. Alkyl

and acyl azides usually require the use of sodium azide (NaN3), which

is toxic and potentially explosive. Our method avoids the need for

this material and provides a convenient route to both alkyl and acyl

azides. (Summer 2007)

Investigated the synthesis of carbohydrate-derived 1,2,3-triazoles as

potential inhibitors of bacterial capsular polysaccharide formation.

(2007)

Developed a "one-pot, microwave-assisted" synthesis of 1,2,3 triazoles

from alkyl (and acyl) halides. (Summer 2008)

Key Results:

We were able to efficiently produce new triazoles as potential

Staphylococcus aureusential drugs against

Addition reactions between our azide and a number of alkynes using a

copper(I) catalyst were successful in water and alcohol as the solvent

Products were easily isolated by filtration and drying

Reworked new-hire orientation program to include HR information and company

resources.

Microwave heating speeds the reactions up but room temperature reactions

were more convenient for making larger amounts of the products

Medicinal synthetic Organic RESEARCH I - Youngstown, OH

Creating potential anti-infective compounds to fight against diseases

Research Assistant, Summer 2006

Learned how to use TLC plates and analyze data from them. I gained

experience with the specialized synthesis microwave used to help speed

up reactions. I created many compounds using a Glucose Sugar and

Alkanes/Alkynes, with catalysts such as CuSO4/ascorbic acid. (Summer

2006)

Key Results:

Received Certificate from the American Chemical Society

Public Speaking

-2007. WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY. PRESENTED SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS AND

ANSWERED QUESTIONS FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, IN A ROOM WITH ABOUT 80 PEOPLE.

-2008. The Ohio State University. I answered questions in a public

forum for 2 hours, about my scientific findings.

-2009 Youngstown State University. Presented Spectroscopic Analysis

internship data to a classroom of about 40 and answered many questions
