2002 - 2007

Michigan State University

, East Lansing, Michigan

Department of Chemistry

Research Assistant

Investigated fluorescence quenching methods for detection of nitrated explosives by screening

fluorophores based on sensitivity and incorporating them into potential field-ready devices for

explosives detection.

Utilized the pH-dependent fluorescence of fluorescein for determination of acids in solution and applied

this method to analysis of foods and beverages (juices, wines, and vinegars) and drugs of abuse (γ-

hydroxybutyric acid or GHB) by HPLC.

Teaching Assistant

16 semesters of experience instructing physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and quantitative

analysis, both in lecture and laboratory formats.

Helped develop undergraduate laboratory course in advanced analytical chemistry including numerous

independent projects.

Undergraduate Research Mentor

Mentored three undergraduate researchers at various stages in their undergraduate programs over a four

year period.

Instructed on proper laboratory technique, data analysis, and independent critical thinking skills.
