Research and Teaching Assistant 01/2000-12/2002

New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, NM 87701

• Synthesis, purification and identification of organic salts with nonlinear optical properties.

• Synthesis of Indole, carbazole and thiophene substituted pyridinum salts with nonlinear optical properties.

• Analysis and identify organic intermediates and final products using TLC, HPLC/UV, IR, NMR and column chromatography.

• Designed and instructed laboratory sessions for undergraduate students majoring in chemistry, and maintained laboratory instrumentation such as HPLC, GC/MS, UV, etc.

Senior Research Associate 08/1988-01/2000

Research Institute of Petroleum Exploration and Development, RenQiu, China (Ptero-China).

• Developed and validated analytical methods, for the analysis of geological samples and conducted organic geochemistry evaluation, using HPLC, GC/MS, UV, IR, fluorescent detection and column chromatography.

• Performed separation and quantitative analysis of crude oil and bitumen “A”, including saturate and aromatic compounds, non-hydrocarbon and asphaltenes by using HPLC and column chromatography. Evaluated and calculated organic matter abundance.

• Performed analysis of the saturate (C8-C35), headspace gas (C1-C5) and aromatic (phenanthrene) by using GC (FID, TCD)(HP5890 series II), and GC/MS. Parameters of evaluating geochemistry were calculated from GC spectrum.
