Dr. Dave Demystifies Matlab (and Chemistry)

I studied Chemistry as an undergrad at Carnegie Mellon University before coming out to U.C. Riverside for my Ph.D.

My dissertation is entitled "The Analysis of Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Data" and it describes chemical data analysis methods that I developed in Matlab and Visual Basic. I started and lead a biodefense data analysis project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where I worked for seven years. The project ultimately led to two patents on data analysis methods and a code base of 20,000 lines contributed by six researchers.

In 2008, I launched a startup company to commercialize our research. 3 years of recession but we're still alive and kicking. We've even made sales! Don't get me started on this. It's my favorite subject.

Why tutor? 1. Teaching was my favorite part of graduate school. My sections regularly beat the mean on midterms by a wide margin. 2) I run a startup and I have three children in college. 'Nuff said?

Chemistry

I received my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University before going to graduate school at U.C. Riverside where I received my Master's and Ph.D. I served as a chemist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for seven years before leaving three years ago to form a startup company to commercialize our research there.

In graduate school, I taught laboratory sections for about three years. One of my best memories of grad school was when, after I gave my lab section... Read More

MATLAB

I first introduced MATLAB to my research group when I was a graduate student in Analytical Chemistry at U.C. Riverside. I used it to prototype algorithms for data analysis which we would later implement in Visual Basic. Eventually, I was one of the contributors to the YAADA database, which exists to this day, and which was written entirely in MATLAB.

At Lawrence Livermore National Lab, I started and lead a development of the real-time data analysis efforts for BioAerosol Mass Spectrometry,... Read More
