Used equipment such as; ICP-OES, ICP-MS, X-Ray Spectrometer (Pananalytical Axios and Rigaku ZSX Primus), Coulometric Karl Fischer titration, the Metrohm autotitrators, BETs (Tristar II plus and Smart Prep Analyzer to determine the surface area of the sample) and Horiba Partica LA-960 Laser Scattering Particle Size Distribution Analyzer to determine the particle size of the sample. Know how to troubleshoot and do minor maintenance for ICP-OES and ICP-MS.Dealt with toxic, corrosive, flammable, and explosive chemicals such as HF, HNO3, tantalum powder, and niobium powder. Followed safety procedures such as using a Geiger counter to ensure no radiation leakage from the X-ray machines, wearing proper safety gear when performing acid digestion, and dealing with nitrogen gas. Recording and reporting results using computer systems and a Laboratory Information Management System.

Responsible for providing support for events such as audios, visual, lighting, and sound.Assist with maintaining accurate inventories and report any damages.

Synthesized, characterized, and isolated the desired organic compounds such as benzalanthranilic acid and methyl anthranilate. Performed techniques such as vacuum distillation, rotary evaporator, reflux, and methylation. Analyzed the compounds using carbon and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to keep track of the reaction and to determine the structure of the compounds.Paper published: Stewart, J. W., Irons, E. M., Osorio Abanto, G., Zeller, M., Zaleski, C. M. & Predecki, D. P. (2024).
