This includes supervising and instructing students in the use of various instruments; and teaching the theory of operation, software applications, sample preparation and sampling techniques.
Teach and demonstrate the practical applications of instrumentation to large and small groups of undergraduate students as well as researchers from within the department and from other departments within the University. These duties form an integral part of the course of study for many chemistry courses.
Provide support to researchers in the use of equipment housed in the teaching laboratories and related UIF, as well as servicing/maintaining the equipment and acting as the resource person for the associated software packages on data acquisition systems.
