Supervisor
Ran GC assays on petro-chemical finished and in-process samples.
Ran residual solvents using GC. Performed detection and
quantitation of products to monitor completion of reaction using
FTIR. Ran a variety of tests using Karl Fisher, LOD, refluxes,
viscosity, cloud point, flash point, etc. Ran potentiometric
assays for sulfates and titrimetric assays on finished products
(amines). Carried some supervision of Lab Techs. Did some
maintenance on an HLPC unit.

Ran assays to verify the acrylic acid content in running water
and in some foods (milk) using HPLC intensively. Involved in a
research study aimed at finding candidates for oncology drugs
using HPLC (Ion Exchange Chromatography, instrument equipped
with a column on which proteins were immobilized). Protein
purification using RP-HPLC. Monosaccharide analysis by GC. Ran
assays for the determination of pesticides and pesticide

LOD, Optical rotation, Dissolution, Particle analyzers, TLC,
etc. Ran stability studies on the same drugs products using
HPLC. Ran assays of raw materials using GC. Ran residual
solvents using GC Headspace, Organic Volatile impurities using
GC. Performed detection and quantitation of conversion
byproducts by FTIR. Performed on column GC injections, performed
extractions, trending, Data revewing. Supported R&D. Performed
extraction. Some trouble shooting.
