I worked for Dr. Alan Bandy, an atmospheric analytical chemist at Drexel University.Some of my research highlights include:• Designed experiments on an atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometer (APIMS)• Measured sulfur dioxide levels in compressed air, ambient air, and outside air using APIMS• Measured acetone and DMSO dimers in compressed air using APIMS

• Conducted surface tension and foam stability testing on amino acid derived surfactants• Prepared formulations for structured surfactant liquids• Tested SSLs for heat stability, freeze/thaw stability, and viscosity• Maintained an orderly laboratory notebook and workstation using the 5S system• Prepared a technical report and presentation based on work completed

• Tested different paint formulations and defoamers for various paint companies• Used instrumentation such as a particle size analyzers, KU and ICI machines, and pH meters• Made draw-downs to test paint for sag resistance, flow and level, gloss, color, and block resistance• Tested paint for freeze-thaw resistance and heat age stability• Organized data into a well-maintained lab book
