Was instrumental in organization, marketing and assistance of five international Audubon Sugar Institute Courses on Affinity-Based Separation Technologies. The course was attended by several hundred specialists worldwide.
Supervising undergraduate student workers and MS students; assisting Ph.D. students in the laboratory.
Developing a unique procedure for crystal size analysis, which has become an annual service that AgCenter, Audubon Sugar Institute provides to eleven sugar factories in Louisiana. It has become an important tool in optimizing the whole process at the sugar factory and to minimize the sugar loss. Currently, the only researcher at the Audubon who operates the Particle Size Analyzer.
Providing technical a logistical assistance to the research group directed by my supervisor for a variety of projects including a large USDA funded project on biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals.
Assisting Louisiana factories with performance assessment by collecting and analyzing samples for molasses exhaustion and sucrose purity in the manufacturing environment; this information was critical for factory optimization during the grinding season.
Participating in validation of the laboratory results for a Louisiana sugar refinery as a part of troubleshooting efforts.
Preparing specialized sugar samples for HPLC to analyze fructose and glucose contents in the samples. Conducting bagasse compositional analyses during and after processing season.
Reporting monthly about the lab performance and daily during the crop season.
Maintaining all lab equipment by following current standards and maintenance schedules.
Keeping MSDS and the safety papers updated.
Communicating with equipment vendors and suppliers.
Maintaining all necessary chemical inventory and lab supplies.
independently as well as part of a team.
Parasitological research on wild animals dealing with ticks, mites, fleas, lice and intestinal micro- and macro parasites of rodents and insectivores, for the identification of collected specimens using microscope.
Conducted ecological research on ectoparasitic arthropods in the areas affected by Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station explosion.
Supervised lab technicians and student workers involved in specimen collecting, processing and identification.
