Seeking a research & development role as a synthetic organic chemist. Reliable, hard working, driven and versatile chemist with eight years of laboratory experience in a variety of chemistry labs. Strong history of collaborative and self-driven projects.
• Managed the chemical ordering for the lab and as the lab's first Post-Doc, guided and mentored the graduate and undergraduates
• Worked on interfacing enzymes with organic chemistry to access a wide range of small molecules to address limitations associated with traditional chemical synthesis.
• Employed vanadium haloperoxidases to catalyze decarboxylative halogenation and decarboxylative bromooxidation of indoles, and oxidative dimerization of thioamides to access 1,2,4 thiadiazoles
• Successfully taught various laboratory chemistry courses including Organic Chemistry I & II and Intermediate Organic Chemistry I Laboratory
• Each lab section contained 10-20 students
• Received a TA rating of "Excellent" every semester, winning various TA awards and scholarships
