PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

ANALYTICAL CHEMIST June 2015 – Apr. 2016

ENTEGRIS INC. Memphis, TN & Danbury, CT

Joint member of QC and R&D teams for a start-up project that recovers precious metals efficiently from electronic waste

• ICP Analysis, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting:

Performed trace metal analyses using ICP-OES to monitor the product yield and the overall manufacturing process Derived ionic concentrations using Ion Chromatography (IC) to reflect reaction progress Calibrated and maintained ICP-OES and IC, and troubleshot most ICP failures within 2 hours

• Quality Control and Data Management:

Developed and validated the QC test protocols

Streamlined the quality-control SOP, and shortened the data processing time from a workday to 1.5 hours Interpreted data, oversaw data integrity, signed certificates of analysis, and maintained LIMS

• Research and Project Development:

Converted ICP into a semi-online analyzer, and automated data reduction by macro programming in Excel Designed experiments to derive critical parameters for manufacturing processes (e.g., etching, electrowinning, and blending) Validated technologies developed from pilot plant on full-scale production

• Leadership and Safety:

Supervised the night shift and trained technicians in performance of QC tests Performed housekeeping in accordance with 5S principles, and managed job safety analysis for the QC lab Collaborated in root-cause analyses for plant incidents, and proposed solutions in safety meetings as the expert of chemistry LAB MANAGER APR. 2013 – JUNE 2015

YALE UNIVERSITY, METAL GEOCHEMISTRY CENTER New Haven, CT

• Sample Analysis:

Performed unconventional trace metal and isotope analyses using high-resolution ICP-MS Developed and validated digestion and analytical methods for non-routine samples Performed, optimized, and validated ion-column chemistry protocols

• Equipment Maintenance:

Diagnosed and fixed ICP-MS failures:

Thermal Element XR, Thermal Neptune, and Thermal Neptune Plus Optimized maintenance for the Class-100 cleanroom and lab equipment: Class-100 Cleanroom, Mettler automatic titrator, Mettler Micro Balance (down to 1 μg), Mettler Analytical Balance, Milli-Q® Water Purification System, centrifuge, etc.

• Lab Management:

Managed billing for test services following the university/department policies Offered safety training to lab members and visitors, and coordinated with Office of Safety and Environmental Affairs Searched for equipment, consumables, and chemicals, and negotiated deep discounts YING KUI
