CAREER OBJECTIVE:

Pursue a career of ICP-MS, HPLC Scientist, Senior Chemist professional position in chemical,

biochemical pharmaceutical, environmental and industry labs by utilizing my solid background of trace

analytical and instrumental chemistry knowledge, and over 20 years lab experiences.

CAREER SUMMARY:

Highly productive professional is with strong fundamentals of trace analytical chemistry,

biochemistry, and separation science knowledge, and with proven capability in method

development/validation in pharmaceutical/biochemical analysis. 7+ years of experiences in ICP-MS trace

metal ions analysis ( 4 years in industry and 3 years in academic), 15+ years of experiences in HPLC

analysis, 20+ years of experiences in chromatography separation technology and spectroscopic analytical

techniques (UV/Vis, and fluorescence); 2-3 years of experiences on GC, capillary electroph eresis (CE), AA,

FGAA, LC-MS and IC analysis. Good skills on problem solving and troubleshooting for HPLC, GC, ICP-

MS UV-Vis spectrometer instruments.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

ICP –MS, HPLC Chemist, Micro Quality Labs, Inc. (05/08 – present)

Current work: • ICP-MS, HPLC routine analysis of metal ions in bulk, finished products and raw
