- Lead quality assurance expert for analysis for different ad-hoc projects.- Evaluate root-cause analysis to explain excursions in product quality and metrology – organics and metals (ppb).- Interface with customers and program managers explaining deviations in metrology effects and any continuous improvement plan.- Qualify internal and external analytical.

-Research into adsorbents, functional fillers, filtration media to capture harmful substituents (heavy metals, radioactive ions, phosphates) to optimize efficacy, capacity, costs, etc.-Synthesis of minerals and materials to capture and magnify desired properties while eliminating impurities.-Extensive study in bentonite, talc, diatomaceous-earth.

- Think critically about new rules from upper management about implementation, addition of more specific rules, and communicated finalized rules to the entire lab.- Implement new regulations as a means to change behaviors and mindset to be safety oriented.- Overhaul communication with near-miss and accident reporting systems.- Lead weekly safety meetings –.

- Adapted an analysis procedure for detecting amino acid concentrations in feed-stock and livestock ilea utilizing UPLC, thereby performing a robust and quick analysis for internal and external clients.- Optimized continuous-flow reaction using DOE practices.- Plant support for fermentation processes and quantitate analytes utilizing GC-FID, ICP-OES.
