Utilized analytical methods including HPLC, DSC, and SEM to characterize and improve synthesized compounds. Managed one of 17 labs at the Bend Research facility, which was in charge of lipid research and development allowing scientists to devote their time to producing customer products on time and above expectations. Interacted with clients on a weekly basis to present date generated in the lab and to address any questions about results, techniques, or general scientific reasoning.Supported other scientists and teams by training new employees and sharing expertise, which then ensured projects would not fall behind and would be completed when needed.

Improved original synthesis of HgTe quantum dots allowing for a shift in absorption from near IR to mid-wave IR.Developed novel synthetic route converting hydrophobic InP/ZnS nanoparticles into a water-soluble final product. Produced TiO2 synthesis that allowed for complete suspension of nanoparticles in various polymers used for 3D printing. Professionally trained on SEM/EDS, TEM, and XPS through CAMCOR nano-facility at the University of Oregon.Improved purchase and… Show more Improved original synthesis of HgTe quantum dots allowing for a shift in absorption from near IR to mid-wave IR.Developed novel synthetic route converting hydrophobic InP/ZnS nanoparticles into a water-soluble final product.

Completed synthesis of Indinavir, a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of HIV and AIDS. This stepwise synthesis contained eight reactions and multiple purifications that lead to the final product characterized and quantitatively purified.Developed multiple functionalized nucleosides from a halogenated uridine starting material. Suzuki coupling reactions were used in order to add functional groups to aid in the labeling of DNA. This reactivity study looked at three major branches… Show more Completed synthesis of Indinavir, a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of HIV and AIDS.

Suzuki coupling reactions were used in order to add functional groups to aid in the labeling of DNA. This reactivity study looked at three major branches of functionalized nucleosides and how to most effectively synthesize each one. Show less

Retrosynthetic development of a diazo compound that significantly improved the current molecule used to detect trace amounts of lead in gun shot residue. This partnership with Northern Arizona University required precise data that was accurate and easily presentable in both lab meetings and presentations to the department of science. Discovered the oxidation process of ethanol in wines in order to find a method that offset the degradation of the product. Designed and produced a custom… Show more Retrosynthetic development of a diazo compound that significantly improved the current molecule used to detect trace amounts of lead in gun shot residue. This partnership with Northern Arizona University required precise data that was accurate and easily presentable in both lab meetings and presentations to the department of science. Discovered the oxidation process of ethanol in wines in order to find a method that offset the degradation of the product. Designed and produced a custom delivery instrument that inhibited this oxidation process by using an iron based reduction agent. Show less
