Conceived, plan, and undertake research plans that developed new working modalities for the company's products. Worked in-depth with optimization of manual and automated fluorogenic and chromogenic biological assays at the fundamental chemical level, at the in-process workflow level, and at the end-point of imaging and image analysis. Specialized in creative modifications to product chemistry for the addition of new functionalities. Coordinated with partner companies for maximum impact strategies for company's products.

Conducted ongoing research in biopharmaceutical method development using label free techniques. Projects focused on improving both underlying technologies and optimizing sensitivities of individual assays and sensing strategies for protein-ligand binding interactions.Wrote up work into SOPs and as published papers, traveled to conferences to present research, and took lead on developing, writing, and maintaining research funding grants submitted to NIH and NSF.

I worked as a TA for General Chemistry, Quantitative Methods, and Environmental Chemistry. I was in charge of demonstrating, teaching, monitoring and grading students' work in laboratory sections of the courses,

Led research teams in analytical/materials chemistry projects that collaborated with industry partners on developing and implementing analytical solutions for surface chemistry problems in microelectronics (wirebond packages, printed circuit boards, etc.).Worked on a project to analyze behavior of corrosive systems, with an emphasis on microelectronics applications. Led a project on investigation of the complex equilibrium of industrial process solutions. Invented new methodology to both solve chemistry-related difficulties with the solution equilibrium.

Performed regulated inspection and quality testing using wide array of analytical chemistry techniques on petrochemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.Developed and validated method procedures for new instrumentation and techniques, specializing in spectrometry and chromatography (HPLC, ICP-MS, ICP-AES, IC/CIC, etc.).Led training of new team members, and coordinated with customers on a regular basis, and became proficient in troubleshooting and maintenance for each system in the lab.
