What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a lab- and research-focused role where I can lead analytical method development and validation, ensure quality compliance (ISO 17025/GLP/GDP), and coordinate projects while mentoring teams through rigorous scientific protocols.

I’m a Senior Research Officer focused on analytical chemistry and rigorous chemical testing that supports compliance with national quality standards. In my current role, I conduct comprehensive chemical and proximate analyses on consumer products and lead instrumental analytical research to develop and validate new testing methods.

I rely on advanced techniques—HPLC, UPLC, and UV analysis—to improve accuracy and reliability in laboratory testing. I also manage water analysis projects, including assessing emerging environmental contaminants and ensuring alignment with environmental regulations.

Alongside research leadership, I help strengthen scientific operations by revising SOPs for safe equipment use, chemical waste disposal, sample testing, and troubleshooting. Earlier, I supported education through lecturing and mentoring, and I started building my quality mindset through an internship in quality control for paint products, where I assisted with testing, QA protocols, and formulation troubleshooting.
