I've designed custom confocal microscopy and spectroscopy systems at UCF's Laboratory for Nanoscale Imaging and Spectroscopy, enabling nanoscale degradation mapping of nanocrystalline perovskite composites and advancing QD-LED analysis.
At Orange County Utilities Central Laboratory, I increased bromate analysis sensitivity by 30% through ion chromatography optimization and led reporting automation that reduced turnaround time by 25%. I also improved IC methods for nitrite, nitrate, and ortho-phosphate proficiency testing samples, reducing equilibrium time from days to hours.
I've also translated chemistry into inquiry-based high school instruction, increasing average unit test scores by 35%, while contributing published research in nanoscale photophysics and mentoring students in core laboratory techniques.
