Chemical Shift

On May 26, 2010, I attended the Lehigh Nanotech Network’s Nano for Business 2010 Conference.  I was invited to speak as a panelist on the “Health and Safety” panel.  Below is a picture of me on the panel with Frank E. Ehrenfeld III, Laboratory Director, nanoTEM and IATL, ASTM D56.03 and Mike McGuiness, [...]

One of my company newsletter articles in EMPFasis, a monthly Navy deliverable from the Electronics Manufacturing Productivity Facility or EMPF, was reprinted in the April 2010 issue of “Printed Circuit Design & Fab / Circuits Assembly”.
Other articles that I wrote have covered:

Problems related to surface finish quality that lead to solderability issues.
Cleanliness and corrosion mitigation [...]

I am going to be adding some more information soon on the following topics on which I have worked.

Computational Chemistry
DFT calculations for HOMO-LUMO band gaps, energy levels, and electron cloud visualization.
Molecular Modeling
Organic Synthesis
Reaction Mechanisms
Polymer Synthesis
Kinetics
Instrumental Analysis
Examples of the types of results/data in the form of concentrations, graphs, images, spectra, etc.
Summary of each of the techniques [...]

At work lately, I have taken on the role of “unofficial safety officer.” I remind people (constantly) to wear safety glasses when they are in the lab. I advised another person that a paper face mask won’t filter out and protect them from acid vapors from a dilute hydrofluoric acid solution, which can [...]
