General Chemistry Levels 1 & 2• Taught 140+ undergraduate students in a general chemistry laboratory. Responsibilities included teaching lab, proctoring exams, grading exams, and grading lab reports. General Chemistry Supplementary Information• Led a lecture-based class reviewing materials related to general chemistry. Responsibilities included authoring and grading class lectures, quizzes, and tests.Advanced Analytical Chemistry • Led a laboratory-based class for graduate students in the analytical chemistry graduate program. Responsibilities included in-depth explanation of circuit designs for analytical detection systems, as well as pre-testing experiments, and authoring lab manuals. Graduate Curriculum Development• Developed curriculum for teaching first year graduate students the principals of instrumentation development, software development as it relates to analytical chemistry, and how to make analytical measurements. Lessons centered around signal to noise optimization, development of data collection hardware, and development of software for analog data collection and digital signal processing

Responsible for the operation and regular maintenance of several research grade imaging instruments including a scanning electron microscope (SEM), three atomic force microscopes (AFM), a stereoscope, a confocal microscope, and a plasma sputter coater Trained and certified over 150 scientists and clinicians in sophisticated imaging techniques Frequently advised outside companies and academic researchers on experimental design regarding the imaging of micro and nano-structures on inorganic, polymer, and biological samplesRoutinely imaged samples and performed microanalysis on polymer, inorganic, and biological samples submitted to the facility by researchers, companies, and other academic institutions Dramatically improved compliance, scheduling efficiency, and billing procedures by designing, programming, and implementing a digital log system for the microscopy facilityAuthored standard operating procedures for the operation of two AFMs and a SEM
