Research Associate resume example

• Performed GC-MS analysis using SPME fibers at their innovation laboratory.

• Development of anionic polymerization process to deposit polymer on the silicon surface.

Fabrication of Materials for Chromatography

· Fabrication 6-phenylhexyl thin film coated sputtered silicon fibers using PVD for analysis of PAHs

· Exploring the use of sputtered SPME coatings in novel techniques, e.g., SPME arrows, coated blades spray

· Developed an acid resistant novel sputtered metal coating to prevent strip-off of silicon coatings from stainless steel surfaces

· Designed the mount that can hold about 200 fibers for sputter coatings in single run

· Built a new apparatus for the ALD coatings in the capillaries. Capillaries lengths from “millimeters to meters” are employed for the ALD coatings

· Fabricated silicon sputtered UTLC plates with 4 µm size “zig-zag” micro-channels of sputtered silicon on glass using photolithography and silicon sputtering

· NAP-XPS of various non-traditional materials and data analysis
