About

I run a research and consulting business focused on solving problems in the bioanalytical, microfluidic, and nanotechnology sectors.  Having an extensive background from research and education in multiple disciplines, I generate outside-the-box solutions to meet client needs.  Work for recent clients has included training on DNA analysis for identification and diagnostic purposes, immunoassay improvements, evaluation of new instrumentation for soil testing, evaluation of material coatings for products in petroleum storage applications, utilization of chemical bath deposition methods, photovoltaic cell development, integration of carbon nanotubes into photovoltaic devices, and development of photonic and microfluidic devices for integration with THz spectroscopy analysis.  As part of my work, I prepare proposals and collaborate with clients to prepare proposals for government and private agencies to secure funding for cutting edge technology development.
