As a passionate analytical scientist and chemist, my professional aim is to leverage cutting-edge developments in analytical/environmental chemistry, environmental science/engineering, and nanotechnology to tackle complex challenges in environmental contaminant monitoring, analytical testing, and remediation.>> With over 6 years in corporate/commercial analytical testing labs, I've gained technical and leadership experience in environmental testing, consumer products testing, materials testing, cannabis testing, and R&D labs. My expertise spans lab setup, operation, and equipment calibration, including GC, GC-MS/HS, LC-MS, TGA-DSC, SEM/EDS, ICP-MS, IC, TOC, HPLC, UV-Vis, XRF, and wet chemistry. I specialize in method development and validation, focusing on trace metals, pesticides, semi-VOCs, VOCs, organic and inorganic pollutants, as well as wet chemistry, materials, and cannabis testing.>> My professional journey includes 3+ years in a government R&D lab focusing on marine/industrial pollution and environmental audit and management. Here, I conducted rigorous testing on samples from diverse industries, analyzing pollutants related to air quality, stormwater, hazardous/solid waste, and wastewater.>> In academia, I spent a decade as an assistant professor teaching analytical and environmental chemistry courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. My role extended to mentoring junior chemists and establishing a new analytical chemistry R&D lab. As Principal Investigator, I led industrial applied research projects and internationally sponsored research, resulting in 50+ international research papers, 40+ conference presentations, and multiple patent applications.>> My proficiency extends beyond the lab to regulatory compliance, developing unique analytical methods aligned with FDA, cGMP/GLP, UPS, CPSC, Proposition 65, EPA, RCRA, OSHA, and ASTM. I've analyzed medical cannabis products for compliance with I-502, DOH, WSDA, and WSLCB regulations and developed materials testing methods for the aerospace industry. Skilled in managing lab data, implementing LIMS, QA/QC protocols, and ensuring safety, I bring a comprehensive skill set.>> Eager to apply my diverse and global expertise from the USA, Japan, South Korea, and India, I seek to contribute to a dynamic team advancing organizational growth through science, analysis, application, and management. My goal is to continue impactful contributions to analytical science and environmental chemistry, addressing challenges and promoting sustainable solutions.
