EXPERIENCE
Laboratory Technician
Nalco Chemical, Naperville, IL Mar 2013 – Present
Assisted in the development of multiple formulations for acrylamide/acrylic acid based polymers in support of
customer needs. Produced 1 L runs of each for characterization purposes.
Characterized polymers using established methods including: Brookfield viscosity, reduced standard viscosity
(RSV), intrinsic viscosity (IV), particle sizing, gel number, filter ratio, moisture content analysis, and torque
analysis.
Worked within a strongly safety oriented, GLP laboratory setting as part of several multidisciplinary teams.
Associate Professor
Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI Aug 2007 – Feb 2013
Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, PA Aug 2005 – May 2007
Developed analytical methods for general and advanced analytical instrumentation.
Created entirely new lab manual for major’s two semester sequence including eight instrumental exercises with
technical notes for instrument preparation and standard preparation. Instruments included: FAA, GFAA, HPLC,
LC MS/MS, Fast Flow Chromatography, GC, GC MS, UV/Vis, Fluorescence.
Taught wet analytical methods: Titration (acid base, redox, photometric, auto titration), gravimetric analysis,
viscosity, and pH measurement.
Mentored 7 research projects including impedance polymer based chemical warfare agent sensors, redox catalysis in
Martian atmosphere conditions, vanadium redox flow cell battery systems, and reduction potential measurement of
air sensitive biomolecular systems.
Authored/co authored and administrated research grants totaling $679,958. Administrative responsibilities include
initial proposals, writing annual/bimonthly reports and reconciling budgets.
Published four peer reviewed manuscripts and presented four national conference oral presentations.
