  As part of a small forensics-based research group under Dr. Adam Hall of Northeastern University, I conducted research for my undergraduate project using DART-MS to analyze the use of kitchen spices as an organic powder for improvised explosives. Created and presented a poster at RISE 2016 at Northeastern University, and helped with the writing of a paper published in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. As a freshman, I helped with a graduate student's thesis project studying the… Show more As part of a small forensics-based research group under Dr. Adam Hall of Northeastern University, I conducted research for my undergraduate project using DART-MS to analyze the use of kitchen spices as an organic powder for improvised explosives.

  Developed a procedure for extracting terpenes from hemp oil samples and created various GC-MS methods for analyzing cannabis terpenes and PAHs using the G908, a compact High Pressure MS (HPMS) analyzer. Routinely traveled off-site to a medical marijuana testing lab to set up a G908, optimize liquid and headspace analysis of marijuana samples, and provide demonstrations to the customer. Tuned, calibrated, and evaluated the G908, and analyzed both raw and processed data.
