Instructor of Analytical Chemistry lecture.

Researched emerging drinking water contaminants utilizing a variety of analytical instrumentation, including perchlorate, N-nitrosamines, haloacetic acids, and algal toxins. Coordinated communications between the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Public Drinking Water Branch (PDWB) and drinking water treatment facilities for sample collections. Led sample collection team by organizing the collection and on-site samples, records, and chemical analyses. Exposed to limitations of small… Show more Researched emerging drinking water contaminants utilizing a variety of analytical instrumentation, including perchlorate, N-nitrosamines, haloacetic acids, and algal toxins. Coordinated communications between the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Public Drinking Water Branch (PDWB) and drinking water treatment facilities for sample collections. Led sample collection team by organizing the collection and on-site samples, records, and chemical analyses. Exposed to limitations of small, rural drinking water facilities across the state. Inspired to develop innovative ideas for alternative solutions for these systems. Collaborated on a research team which evaluated an alternative disinfectant, peracetic acid, for potential use to meet required contact times within systems while evaluating the potential for disinfection by-product formation.
