Profile Summary

I am a PhD analytical chemist with hands-on experience in liquid chromatogarphy-high resolution ion mobility-high resolution mass sepcetrometry (LC-HRIM-HRMS), quantitative analysis, PFAS method development, and complex analytical workflows. My background includes multi-instrument method optimization, data review, interpretation of MS results, and preparation of publication-quality figures and documentation for scientific audiences. I develop and review SOPs, method documentation, and reproducible data analysis pipelines to help teams standardize processes, ensure consistent results, and improve transparency in data handling. I specialize in mass spectrometry data analysis, method troubleshooting, experimental design, scientific writing, and interpreting complex chemical analytical results for R&D teams. Transforming raw mass spectrometry data into clear, reliable, decision-ready insights. I have worked across academic labs, industrial analytical projects, and scientific collaborations in environmental chemistry and small molecule analysis.
