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.

USDA, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Peoria, IL Aug 2003 – Aug 2005

Developed enzyme modified electrode redox catalysis systems in ionic liquid solvents for converting soybean oil into

value added products such as sunscreen agents and cosmetic excipients.

Used covalent self assembled monolayer technology. Investigated systems through CV, EIS, and anaerobic Schlenk

line/glove box reagent handling.

Analytical Scientist (3-month Contract Position)

Alberto-Culver, Melrose Park, IL May 2003 – Aug 2003
