Preparation of samples derived from aerosol and snow matrices for the determination of combustion-related organic tracers in the mentioned samples. Furthermore, I have gained additional experience in a chemical laboratory and in preparative work.

Moreover:

• Explored new technologies and approaches to streamline processes.
• Analyzed problems and worked with teams to develop solutions.
• Sorted and organized files, spreadsheets, and reports.

I primarily dealt with sample preparation for GC analyses of VOC compounds in waste matrices. I also handled sample preparation for metal determination in food matrices. On a more practical level, my tasks included filtering acidic aqueous solutions and preparing known-volume acidic aqueous solutions. I am familiar with EPA 8260 and EPA 8015 methodologies. Additionally, I have expertise in sample preparation for gravimetric analysis, specifically for volatilization. I have also developed strong hands-on skills in a chemical laboratory and all the practical aspects associated with this work.

Intern at a chemical company in the paint and coatings sector. I worked alongside a colleague, assisting and shadowing him in his duties. I conducted various tests on materials and paints, such as UV resistance tests, tests with various solvents, and thermal shock tests. Subsequently, I used a spectrophotometer to catalog different colorations and input them into a dedicated database. This information was later used to formulate other colorations or pastes.
