Dr. Daniel Carbajal
Dr. Daniel Carbajal is a researcher with a background in analytical chemistry. He is skilled in natural products research (characterization, quantification, separation techniques, LC-MS/MS, analytical techniques, data analysis and interpretation) and industrial R&D research. Dr. Carbajal was a research professor at the University of chihuahua and has experience in R&D department for an international agrochemical industry. He has established, developed and validated analytical methods, calibrating and troubleshooting, interpreted chromatograms and reported scientific results to support development of new products. |
Through research at different universities, Dr. Carbajal has gained knowledge of polyphenols and natural products research techniques. He is also experienced in routinely using different HPLC/MS systems (Thermo, Agilent, Waters) and related software for qualitative and quantitative analysis of natural products. He is also an English, Spanish and French speaker.
PLTLIS Board members Jim Becvar and Geoffrey Saupe wrote (with the significant help of A.E. Dreyfuss) a proposal in response to a ConTex funding initiative for support of a postdoctoral fellow ConTex is the joint initiative of The University of Texas System and Mexico’s CONACYT. Established in 2016, ConTex supports bi-national efforts to enhance academic and research collaborations between Texas and Mexico. . This proposal entitled Facilitated Learning at Spanish Speaking Institutions has funded Daniel Ivan Carbajal Ida to become a postdoctoral fellow at UTEP to engage in studying the UTEP PLTL Program for a year starting November 2019. Daniel hopes his efforts will attract and support practitioners of PLTL south of the border.
