-Developed and conducted enzyme assays for high-throughput screening of biocatalysts for the synthesis of APIs.

• Designed and led a research project characterizing proteins when loaded into drug delivery systems.• Developed and validated analytical methods to characterize protein structure and biological activity.• Drove multiple projects from inception to completion with quality and attention to detail, leading to developing novel technologies and filing a US patent application.• Managed a team of five junior scientists to develop new methodologies, and coordinate testing of experimental samples, resulting in two peer-reviewed publications.• Documented the execution, procedure, results, and conclusions of experiments in a detailed manner, and in compliance with reporting requirements.• Conducted data analysis, authored SOPs and publications, and prepared presentations for national meetings.

• Demonstrated exceptional teaching abilities as the lead instructor for undergraduate Organic Chemistry Lab I and II, core courses essential for chemistry and biology majors.• Used strong analytical skills to synthesize complex scientific topics to facilitate learning of difficult scientific concepts.

Conducted experiments focused on organic synthesis, bioconjugation, protein characterization,and protein purification, leading to the publication of 4 peer-reviewed publications.
