Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Senior Research Analytical Chemist in highly respected contract analytical laboratory providing leadership and expertise for a wide range of chemical analysis projects using high resolution LC-MS, GC-MS and other chromatographic and spectrometric techniques. Some of the most challenging projects are Extractables/Leaching testing of medical devices and related samples; these projects require identification and quantification of unknown compounds via expert interpretation of mass-spectra obtained using UHPLC-MS/TOF.

Bellingham, Massachusetts, United States

Expert in sample preparation and analysis (LC-MS, GC-MS, and other chromatographic and spectroscopic methods) for food safety, environmental, forensic and related pharmaceutical applications.

Milford, Ma

Oversaw the validation and verification of new SPE and column chemistries for multi-residue LC-MS and GC-MS applications under ISO 9001 guidelines.• Developed novel application methodologies for new SPE products of the Oasis® brand and other new sample preparation products. • Led the development of simplified and high-throughput cleanup methods for improved multi-residue LC-MS and GC-MS analysis for the food safety and environmental markets• Developed sensitive tandem LC-MS and GC-MS methods for multi-residue pesticide analysis in cannabis and other difficult natural product matrices. • Mentored teams of senior scientists over wide range of application projects.

Milford, Massachusetts, United States

Managed team of senior scientists responsible for sample preparation method development in support of SPE and UPLC column products intended for agrochemical, biological, and environmental samples using tandem LC-MS and GC-MS. • Among the important applications were multi-residue pesticides and antibiotics in foodstuffs, PFAS, and other emerging contaminants compounds in water supplies, PAH and related compounds in shellfish, and drug residues in biological samples. • Presented worldwide seminars and symposia and technical training of sales and support personnel.• Expanded the scope of the product market for the Oasis brand, originally intended primarily for pharmaceutical applications; this resulted in significantly increased market share for Waters sample preparation products in the food safety and other non-pharma markets.

Milford, Massachusetts, United States

- Developed new applications for Waters SPE and LC Column chemistries - Produced and delivered customer-facing seminars and provided on-site assistance to sales staff

• Developed methods for determination of PCBs, PAHs and other organic compounds and metabolites in soils and waters to support environmental engineering staff.• Developed microextraction methods for a wide range of organic analytes for both laboratory and on-site analysis.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Senior Staff Scientist• Developed rapid turnaround on-site methods and directed on-site laboratory projects.• Supervised organics analysis laboratory using EPA SW 846 and related methods. • Developed in-house proprietary methods for emerging contaminants where no standard EPA methods were available; this expertise allowed company to provide an important analytical service not available from competition.
