Damilola Abraham
@damilolaabraham
Senior Research Officer in analytical chemistry, advancing quality testing and method validation.
What I'm looking for
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.
