Professional Experience

ResearchChemist Studied protein-ligand binding, thermal stability using differential scanning calorimetry and isothermal titration calorimetry. Studied thermodynamics of enzyme catalyzed reactions using solution calorimetry, HPLC, ion chromatography, and gas chromatography Expertise in water analysis of various samples using Karl-Fisher Titration, including participation in CCQM studies. Developed standard for short pathlength spectrophotometers. Current responsibilities involve producing standard solutions and validation using ion chromatography, gravimetry, and development of NIST capabilities for analysis of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen , sulfur, and chlorine using combustion methods. ResearchAssistant Principal Teaching assistant for the Physical Chemistry Lab (6 semesters). Taught students, maintained instrumentation, and helped develop and update several laboratory experiments. Instructed BYU CHEM 107 Lab (2 semesters). Rewired, designed, programmed, interfaced and set-up hardware and software for an adiabatic calorimeter. Collected and analyzed calorimetric data. Helped oversee and direct undergraduate research in the lab. ♦ 1999- 2005 Brigham Young University Provo, UT
