Function and Responsibilities:

I am a Chemical Technical Assistant, maintaining laboratory equipment and chemical inventory, and assisting researchers with the practical aspects of their work. My duties include the operation of devices for thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and particle size determination.

I have past industrial experience in aqueous geochemistry, focusing on elemental analysis via Flame AAS, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS. Within this job I was also part of a peer review group to manage standard operating procedures and other technical documents.
