In an intellectual property firm that specialized in producing documented guidance for managing the scientific and technological aspects of major pharmaceutical firms, I drafted documents for major pharmaceutical companies on (i) analytical methods validation, and (ii) quality standards on analytical methods validation, water treatment, analytical records, and many other topics for implementation worldwide in manufacturing and R & D.

I founded an organic chemical consulting firm specializing in analytical and isotopic organic chemistry, serving the pharmaceutical and food science industries.Developed separation-science test procedures for major client's firm that were published. Taught those separation-science test procedures to client's scientific management and staff.

In the Analytical Organic Chemistry Group at Pfizer-Cultor (until that division was sold), I developed GC and HPLC methods to separate and quantify complex mixtures of ~20-100 triglycerides that composed the low-calorie fat substitute, Benefat / Salatrim. I took the method from the mg- to multi-ton-scale in a few months, generating an economic product and a generally-useful publication on the topic.*I developed a rigorous, iterative means by which to subdivide complex organic mixtures into… Show more In the Analytical Organic Chemistry Group at Pfizer-Cultor (until that division was sold), I developed GC and HPLC methods to separate and quantify complex mixtures of ~20-100 triglycerides that composed the low-calorie fat substitute, Benefat / Salatrim. I took the method from the mg- to multi-ton-scale in a few months, generating an economic product and a generally-useful publication on the topic.*I developed a rigorous, iterative means by which to subdivide complex organic mixtures into quantifiable subgroups for analytical and process purposes (Jasper, 2000, J. Agric. Food Sci. 48, 785−791).*I developed a method for the separation of triglyceride positional isomers that affect the product's physical properties and marketability. (SOP)*I developed an HPLC separation method for high-molecular weight triglycerides. (SOP) *I transferred our chemical methods (test procedures) to major corporate clients and tollers in both written and in oral presentations. *I was responsible for leadership of the Salatrim Analytical Group.

I served as a marine organic chemist in an advanced research institute dedicated to the study of marine sciences and technology.I pursued marine organic chemical research on the reconstruction of oceanic PCO2 as recorded in the molecular-isotopic composition of phytoplankton-sourced compounds. I taught advanced undergraduates applications of analytical organic chemistry to environmental matters.

I served in an internationally-recognized laboratory for the development of irmGCMS that measured the 13C/12C ratios of individual compounds in complex mixtures. Using a combination of organic and isotopic methods, I devised novel techniques for use of compound-specific isotopic data.Reconstructed the PCO2 for pre-existing ocean waters and the atmosphere. This molecular-isotopic method has become one of the most widely used and researched method for the reconstruction of oceanic PCO2… Show more I served in an internationally-recognized laboratory for the development of irmGCMS that measured the 13C/12C ratios of individual compounds in complex mixtures.

This molecular-isotopic method has become one of the most widely used and researched method for the reconstruction of oceanic PCO2, spanning the last 500 Myr in 2018 and is still in active use. Discriminated bulk organic carbon sources (viz., terrestrial vs. marine) via stable-isotopic techniques using compound-specific analysis.(Scientific Advisor: Prof. John M. Hayes) Show less
