RESEARCH SCIENTIST - Manage research projects to develop new products and analytical methods - Manage teams of engineers and chemists to achieve research objectives. This includes managing a budget, scheduling research activities, identifying project dependencies, operating within contract, policy, and legal constraints, maintaining procurement processes, and delivering periodic reports to upper management and funding agencies - Identify risks and develop risk mitigation strategies - Research focused on measuring gaseous analytes in various gas matrices. Examples include: sorbent trap technologies for the capture of Hg, HCl, HBr, Se, As, NH3, SO3, and Siloxanes, applications with GC-IMS, and development of sorbent trap sampling equipment - Collaborate with industry and academic research partners on development of novel measurement methods - Present research findings and new products at industry conferences, ASTM meetings, and through various company communications - Write and submit grant proposals to federal agencies supporting SBIR research QA/QC MANAGER - Optimize laboratory processes - Maintain company compliance with NELAP standards - Perform root cause analysis when problems arise, implement solutions to prevent recurrence - Write standard operating procedures, policies, and manuals for laboratory activities - Perform regular audits of laboratory activities - Review and approve laboratory analysis reports - Provide customer support

- Manage teams of engineers and chemists to achieve field project objectives - Responsible for developing a project schedule, identifying project dependencies, completing a job hazard analysis, checking equipment integrity and performing necessary repairs, reviewing measurement data, and delivering a project report to the customer - Identify risks and develop risk mitigation strategies - Worked with customers to develop pollution control testing strategies in order to comply with EPA MATS regulations. - Analyzed HCl, HBr, NH3, and SO3 sorbent traps via ion chromatography - Analyzed Hg sorbent traps via atomic absorption spectrometry - Installed portable continuous emissions monitors for Hg at customer sites

- Extracted financial data from federal filings to generate ratings for 401k retirement packages. - Database management.

- Designed data processing and analytical software to model complex many-bodied problems such as nucleation theory and Lennard-Jones crystals in thermal gradients - Implemented linked-list cell algorithms and other processing economizers to efficiently model the interactions of several thousand atoms
