At the National Institute for Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology (AIST), Nanoarchitectonics Research
Center, I am involved in a project utilizing Slab Optical
Waveguide (SOWG) Spectroscopy and Electrochemistry in studying
the adsorption of proteins and dyes on surfaces. My
responsibilities include full time laboratory work, processing
and analysis of experimental data as well as writing of papers
and articles for conferences and contributions or submissions
to journals. | |

|
Assistant Professor
|
|
|
| |
I prepared teaching materials and delivered lectures
in undergraduate and graduate level analytical chemistry,
environmental and electrochemistry courses. I also supervised
research staff and students and performed other
research-related activities and participated in extension
activities of the
Institute. | |

Consultant for IER,
EMS and P2/CP |
|
|
| |
IISE stands for Industrial Initiatives for Sustainable
Environment. While a consultant, I conducted Initial
Environmental Reviews (IER) and gave technical advise on
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and Pollution
Prevention-Cleaner Production (P2/CP) at industrial facilities
that were expected to have considerable potential to reduce
pollution and risk to the environment and human health. I was
also involved in the establishment of the scope and direction
of IISE's support and allocation of project resource to these
facilities. | |

Postdoctoral
Research Assistant |
|
|
| |
I was a member of the team developing novel
electrochemical sensors for environmental and biomedical
applications. My one-year assignment allowed me to develop a
mercury-free anodic stripping voltammetric method for the
determination of lead based on polyaniline-modified glassy
carbon electrodes. | |
