Consultant at TGA Scientific Consulting

Profile Summary

My primary research focus is in the design and synthesis of applied nano-materials. I have extensive experience in the development of materials for drug delivery, nano-proteomics, sunscreen protection and sensors. I also have extensive experience in the area of responsive surfactants. Even though I have expertise on developing many different types of responsive materials, one of my specializations is in the development of photo-reactive materials. Furthermore, I have experience in developing and testing SMT solder pastes. Additionally, I am an expert in the area of chemical safety and ensuring a safe work environment that is OSHA compliant with proper chemical storage, labeling and disposal.
