I love problem solving and finding new ways to explore applications, science has just always been my natural avenue of pursuit. I cultivated a multidisciplinary background with an eye towards applications. After completing my PhD at UC San Diego in 2011, I went on to a post-doc at the US NIH National Institutes of Health before joining Thermo Fisher Scientific in the summer of 2014. I’ve always enjoyed the power and utility of fluorescence, now I’m working for a company whose reagents are the industrial standard for fluorescence-based science. It feels like a natural fit.The parent company soon learned of his immense skills and transferred him to Connecticut, USA, in 1987, where he eventually ended up specializing in the field of ICP-MS. Along the way he has become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and also a Chartered Chemistry (CChem). He is accredited with over 70 publications on analytical chemistry and 3 textbooks on ICP-MS. For the past 13 years he has been principle of his own consulting company, based in Gaithersburg, MD.
