•Assisted in development of analytical method and executed method validation.

•Assisted in development of analytical method for the analysis of trace impurities and volatiles using gas chromatography with a mass selective detector (GC-MS).

•Assisted in the development of hybrid nanostructures for the evaluation of sunscreen. •Utilized beta carotene and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) to create nanostructures stabilized with octyl-p-methoxy cinnamate (OMC) and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT). •Characterized nanostructures for zeta sizing and zeta potential after extended exposure to ultra-violet A (UVA) lamp. Characterization performed as part of the evaluation for structural degradation determination.

Extensive knowledge and skill in the navigation of the Integrated Library System to obtain journals, articles, books and CDs for university students and faculty.Exceptional ability to access, input, and retrieves data from multiple university libraries located on a single server.Proficient in executing basic electronic bibliographical and informational searches using on-line, CD-Rom sources.

•Assisted in the development of “Green” nanoparticles for eliminating food borne pathogens. •Prepared Green nanoparticles using environment friendly reagents such as surface nisin, cationic chitosan nanoparticles and encapsulated lysozymes.•Characterized green particles for zeta sizing and zeta potential and then coated particles with nisin. Characterized green particles were then distributed to various research groups.
