Luca Lupinacci

• Worked under guidance of the Head of Chemistry Department learning how to manage chemical inventory.
• Familiarized myself with GHS labeling and general lab safety policies.
• Became proficient at preparing a variety of stock solutions and using fundamental lab equipment.

My Junior and Senior year I worked in close collaboration with the Head of the Chemistry department, who was also my IB Chemistry teacher. Very often he relied on me to complete administrative duties and preparatory work that he did not have time to do. I was responsible for preparing many of the stock solutions that were to be used by students for middle and high school biology and chemistry experiments. I was also tasked with reorganizing the entire chemical storage room and creating an online inventory of all the chemicals that could be accessed by all teachers in the science depart.

Towards the beginning of my Senior year I decided I was going to conduct an investigation on my own accord. With permission from the my high school science department I was granted unlimited access to the schools equipment and chemical inventory. It took me 7 months of on and off work to complete the paper. The link to a pdf of the study I conducted is below.
