Work History

Mass Spectrometrist

UC Irvine Department of Chemistry
10.2022 - 10.2024
  • Developed and prepared standards for vitamins, nucleic acids, amino acids, and steroid hormones to use with newly acquired instruments, including a triple quad, inevitably being used for sample runs for future research. Standards became benchmarks in which future sample runs were compared, providing integral data to projects being conducted
  • Research into breath biomarker analysis by collection of breath samples from lung cancer patients using mylar balloons: Dynamic detection of potential breath biomarkers associated with lung cancer through FID and Gas Chromatography, leading to valuable data for further non-invasive diagnostics of cancer
  • Optimized MALDI matrix applications by doing systematic experiments using various spraying methods to refine solvent ratio and density depositions for greater accuracy of imaging results and slide stability
  • Independently conducted GC/MS and LC/MS analysis on fragrances, intending to compare similarities of chemical profile of a luxury label with purposely replicated alternatives; Luxury label was also tested for safety and quality in fragrance to assess any concerns regarding legality of using certain compounds and use of questionable business practices
  • Assisted others with proteomics projects, processed student samples for course work on campus, verified mass of target molecules to the 4th decimal place for graduate students, and assisted in High-Resolution LC/MS
  • Troubleshot and repaired instrument malfunctions, including pump failures and identifying breakdowns of internal lines and mechanisms, with hands-on technical expertise, minimizing downtime
  • Managed and cleaned up spills in lab, addressed neglected samples, disposed of hazardous materials safely, and verified EH&S policies to ensure they were being physically practiced
  • Maintained and prepared solvents and sample washes used by Gas Chromatograph, High-Resolution Liquid Chromatographs, Quadupoles, MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometers, Headspaces, and other Mass Spec devices

Undergraduate Research Scientist

University Of California, Irvine
10.2023 - 06.2024
  • Independently conducted a novel meta-analysis research project on the use of salivary S100B as a biomarker for early detection of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  • Performed extensive literature reviews, data extraction, and statistical analysis on a multitude of innovative clinical and non-clinical research papers
  • Utilized R programming for data analysis and interpretation of clinical trial results.
  • Developed a strong foundation for clinical research methods and important principles in neurobiology.
