Martin 2

Facilitated certification and training of students, faculty, and external customers at the

University of Kentucky Confocal Microscopy Center for imaging biological species

Teaching Assistantship

University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY

2012-2014

Lindenwood University, St. Charles, MO

2011-2012

Stockroom Employee: Prepped supplies for general, analytical, and organic chemistry

laboratory sections. Organization and material upkeep for all supplies.

General Chemistry Teaching Assistant (3 sections/semester): Pre-lab lectures followed by

laboratory activities (~24 students). Regular office hours were held for Q/A’s regarding

homework assignments, lab reports, exam preparation, and future lab work.

SKILLS

Expert in the assembly, alignment, and use of custom wide-field and confocal

microscopy setups including free-space beam alignment, fiber coupling, total internal

reflection fluorescence (TIRF), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), ALEX,

resonant scanning based systems, and super-resolution techniques

Expert user of nanofabrication techniques including: E-beam lithography (EBL), focused

ion beam (FIB), photolithography, dual chamber E-beam evaporation, sputter deposition,

reactive ion etcher (RIE), atomic layer deposition (ALD), optical profilometry, and

scanning electron microscopes (SEM)

Thorough knowledge of substrate construction and sample preparation methods including

polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based microfluidic systems, various linker chemistries for

fluorescent labeling of substrates, as well as, molecular adsorption onto surfaces using

polyvinyl alcohol films

Strong technical background with acquisition/analysis softwares including: Micro-

Manager (NIH), ImageJ (NIH) , OriginPro, Symphotime64 (Picoquant), Metamorph

(Olympus), IQ (Andor), Solis (Andor), and the Microsoft Office Suite
