Set up a satellite site for pharmaceutical analysis in Calgary

Beside taking part in the activities within the functional unit, I mainly worked as part of a cross-functional project team on new product develpment projects and their GMP production campaigns throughout the project life cycle. I was accountable for planning, coordinating, and executing analytical activities in coordination with process development, quality assurance, release testing, production engineers, external contractors, and customers.

I continued with an interest I developed during my PhD work in charge transport properties of liquids, specifically where hydrodynamics (and more specifically where Nernst-Einstein equation) is deviated from (or utterly defied), trying to see if I can discover more about proton transport anomalies (generally termed Grotthuss mechanism).• Developed a method based on 19F/1H NMR for process control of protic ionic liquids synthesis involving perfluorinated anions• Adopted dynamic… Show more I continued with an interest I developed during my PhD work in charge transport properties of liquids, specifically where hydrodynamics (and more specifically where Nernst-Einstein equation) is deviated from (or utterly defied), trying to see if I can discover more about proton transport anomalies (generally termed Grotthuss mechanism).• Developed a method based on 19F/1H NMR for process control of protic ionic liquids synthesis involving perfluorinated anions• Adopted dynamic magnetic resonance techniques (Lineshape analysis, EXSY, diffusometry, relaxometry) for quantitative characterization of anomalous proton conduction phenomena• Studied the effect of structural heterogeneity of liquid mixtures on their charge transport properties through molecular dynamics simulations Show less

I visited Prof. Ville-Veikko Telkki's research laboratory funded by European Network on NMR Relaxometry to explore the possibility of using NMR relaxometry techniques in the study of proton exchange dynamics with a focus on careful measurement of transverse relaxation times (T2) and critical evaluation of Laplace transform results

During this visit of Prof. Luis Miguel Varela's research group, funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, I was trained on the use of molecular dynamic simulations of liquid structure and dynamics. Python programming was an integrated part of this effort and it continued to take up the bigger role in my future data analysis.

My PhD work was mostly around physicochemical characterization and novel applications of ionic liquids (ILs). I used a range of characterization methods, electrochemical (CV, EIS, ...), mechanical (rheometry), thermal analysis (TGA, DSC), spectroscopic analysis (NMR, Raman), and computational chemistry (DFT, MD) techniques to answer a great many questions I had regarding the material. A summary of what I tried and achieved is below.• Produced a new quantitative scale of anion basicity… Show more My PhD work was mostly around physicochemical characterization and novel applications of ionic liquids (ILs).
