Working as Manager of the analytical services and scientific consultancy deparment at the LBTRC and also woks as service engineer for performing installations of Chromatography, Spectroscopy and other different analytical chemistry instruments which more related to Analytical chemistry and sample preparation techniques. Also performing the maintenance of these instruments and organizing theoretical and practical training courses on use and applications of such techniques. Also can do the complete cycle of analysis starting from installing the instrument to making the measurement and before doing the sample preparation the samples with different techniques including dissolution, extraction and concentration.

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

Worked for more than seventeen years in Analytical Chemistry laboratories where dealing with sample analysis by different techniques is mostly utilized. My work started as chemist analyzing samples using the volumetric and the gravimetric methods. By time and training I improved my skills to become expert in installation, operation and maintenance of such machines. The analytical instruments included chromatographic, Spectrophotometric and spectroscopic instruments and bench instruments which mostly used for investigating the physical properties of a sample in different matrices. The work also includes preparing samples, running the analysis, obtaining and evaluating results. The samples encountered and dealt with are food and drugs, environmental, biological, industrial, petroleum and clinical samples.

PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE

From 1994 – 2000:::

Tajoura Nuclear Research Center/ the Organic Unit Tripoli –Libya

Analyzing different samples with Infrared techniques and Chromatography methods such as HPLC and GC.

The task included the preparation of the instruments and the samples.

Used different techniques for sample preparation as solvent and solid phase extraction, rotary evaporators and others.

Performing traditional methods of analytical chemistry as volumetric and gravimetric analysis whenever is needed.

Member of research group and published three papers on:

-The use of Gas Chromatography as tool in the evaluation of pesticides formulations.

-The behavior of tributyl phosphate as extracting agent for rear metals at high concentration using Infrared techniques.

-Potassium Bromate as bread improver (Risks, Analysis and Alternatives.).

Conducted quality control checks on the produced radiopharmaceuticals

using HPLC method.

Working with these samples has given me the experience in dealing with

Chromatographic and Spectrophotometric instruments and engorged to

concentrate on the installation, operation and trouble shooting of these

machines.
