Education:
2011 – 2015 BSc. (Hons) Forensic & Environmental Chemistry.
Results Final award classification – First class honours.
Chemistry Analytical, organic & organic synthesis, Inorganic, Environmental, Physical,
Forensic.
Areas Include Spectroscopy, microscopy, separation science, environmental analysis,
pharmaceutical analysis, criminalistics, surface & colloidal chemistry,
photochemistry, polymer chemistry, statistics , inorganic & organic synthesis/
characterisation, comprehensive education with regards to analytical
techniques and associated methodology.
Instrumentation Practical knowledge of Instrumentation and associated sample preparation:
FTIR/IR, UV/Vis including HACH UV/Vis, HPLC, ICP including ICP-MS, AAS, GC
including GC-MS/MS, I.C, C.E, GRIM, SEM-EDX, XRF, TGA, DSC, microscopy
(light/PLM/Comparison).
Familiar with working principals and data interpretation:
LC-MS/MS including interfacing, sample preparation and modes of operation,
NMR and NMR spectrum interpretation (1
H, 13
C & 2D NMR) Raman
spectroscopy, automated volumetric techniques (Karl Fischer).
Final Year Project:
Development of an analytical method for the identification of sugars in suspect drug and explosive
samples by high performance ligand exchange chromatography. –In conjunction with forensic
science Ireland (formerly the forensic science laboratory).
 Developed a validation plan and QA acceptance criteria for both qualitative and future
quantitative methods.
 Developed two analytical methods capable of separation of the most commonly
encountered sugar analytes and those which have been observed by other testing
laboratories to be the “new trend” in illicit bulk explosives manufacturing.
 Gained an in depth knowledge of the principle of ligand exchange-size exclusion
chromatography, the stabilities of formed carbohydrate-cation complexes and the
correlation between stability and elution order.
 Developed a good knowledge of carbohydrate stereochemistry.
 Gained extensive experience in trouble shooting and system maintenance as well as gaining
the ability to perform minor repairs (Agilent 1100 series HPLC with 1260 RI detector).
