• Designed and developed Molecularly imprinted material for selective extraction of pharmaceuticals (sulfonamides) from wastewater with detection by LC-MS/MS.
• Assisted in the reporting and documentation of the project.
• Conducted regular reviews of the scientific literature in mass spectrometry projects and newly developed analytical methods.
• Provided training for undergraduate and graduate students on various research methods and lab instruments/equipment.
• Assisted in lab management and writing scientific papers.

• Designed and developed analytical methods for clinical applications using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), Liquid Chromatography Coupled Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). e.g., the drug of abuse in Urine by LC-MS/MS, organic acids in Urine by GC-MS, vitamin D in serum by LC-MS/MS, urine Metanephrine on Premier Symbiosis SPE by LC-MS/MS, etc.
• Prepared analytical standards for chemical analysis.
• Performed method validation, including precision, accuracy, linearity, recovery, interferences, specific matrix effects, and internal or external method comparison.
• Prepared and wrote standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Kept accurate records of the collected data for assay evaluation and validation
• Employed Laboratory Information Management System to track and report sample results according to Standard Operating Procedures.
• Maintained, calibrate, troubleshoot, and resolve occasional issues of in-house analytical instruments.
• Provided training for technologists and students on various analytical instruments and equipment.

• I have taught general chemistry and analytical chemistry courses.
• Trained students on various analytical techniques and analytical instruments, UV-Vis, FTIR, GC/FID, GC/MS, HPLC/MS, and TGA.

• I have taught several chemistry courses.
• Developed course curriculums for chemistry courses as per accreditation and international standards.
• Trained students on various analytical techniques and analytical instruments, UV-Vis, FTIR, GC/FID, GC/MS, HPLC/MS, TGA, and AAS, and KF.
