Analytical Chemistry, Precious Metals Analysis and Refining

ID: 732508 Maryland, USA

Request Expert

Expert has over 30 years experience in the field of analytical chemistry, especially in the field of electrochemistry with platinum group metals, including product development, customer service and analytical methods development. He has special skill in training and mentorship of laboratory personnel, laboratory design and construction, environmental compliance and manufacturing technology implementation. He has managed multiple regional laboratories and instituted numerous quality programs in the laboratory and production environments and is a certified ISO auditor. His has strong world-class expertise in the analysis and characterization of the platinum group metals and organometallic compounds. He possesses deep knowledge of the following analytical techniques, ICP and liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy, ion chromatography, and elemental analysis. He is also well versed in ion chromatography and general organic chemical analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, infrared spectroscopy and UV/Visible and NMR to a lesser extent.

Laboratory Information Management, Laboratory Design, Laboratory Automation, Statistical Process Control
He has successfully implemented laboratory information management systems in multiple laboratories, and has acted as the subject matter expert on several occasions while directing all phases of LIMS implementation. He understands the multi-faceted nature of these projects that must draw information from disparate sources and deliver coherent meaningful reports to a diverse group of users. Delivering a LIMS system on budget is also one of his strengths and he uses Microsoft project and other such tools to control cost and inform management every step of the way. Laboratory automation of high throughput titration equipment and inductively coupled plasma spectrometers and integration of these instruments into a LIMS system was a special challenge he has mastered.
