Scientist with a MS in Analytical Chemistry with >15 years of relevant analytical chemistry experience supporting the multiple R&D groups of Weyerhaeuser's forestry industry and pulp and paper products. A significant portion of laboratory-based work has been method development for new methods and improving the precision and time-factors of working methods. The variety of detectors used are evaporative light scattering (Polymer labs), refractive index (Waters 2414), UV (Waters 2996), fluorescence (Waters 2475), LC-IR transform (Lab Connections), IR (Thermo Electron Corp; Perkin Elmer FT-IR), electrochemical (Dionex ICS 5000+ ED50), LC-MS (AB-SCIEX), MALS (Wyatt DAWN HELEOS 18-angle LS/Optilab T-rEX refractive index). LC systems used include Waters Alliance 2690 and 2695 using Empower software, Dionex ICS 5000+ using Chromleon software, Shimadzu using AB-Sciex Analyst software.Other instrumentation include CETAC Hg analyzer and Quick Chem LaChat flow injection analysis.
Listed skills include Analytical Chemistry, Hazardous Waste Management, Environmental Awareness, Chemistry, and 9 others.
