Seeking an entry-level Quality Control / Inspection position
Experience
Undergraduate Researcher - Final-Year Research Project - University of Central Punjab – LHR - LHR
(2025-07 - 2026-07)
- Developed and investigated a silica-reinforced PVA–sodium alginate–cellulose hydrogel coating for enhanced oil–water separation.
- Prepared silica nanoparticles and polymeric hydrogel materials using controlled laboratory procedures.
- Performed membrane/coating preparation, chemical treatment and experimental testing.
- Gained practical experience in FTIR, SEM, EDX, BET and TGA characterization of synthesized/modified materials.
- Recorded experimental observations and analytical results systematically for research interpretation.
- Evaluated material properties including surface characteristics, morphology, elemental composition and thermal behavior.
- Applied analytical chemistry principles to investigate the relationship between material composition and separation performance.
LABORATORY & ANALYTICAL EXPERIENCE - University Lab Experience – UCP, LHR - LHR
(2022-10 - 2026-07)
- Completed approximately 3 years of cumulative hands-on chemical analysis and testing through laboratory coursework, practical sessions and research activities.
- Performed routine analytical testing including titration, photometry/spectroscopy, pH, conductivity and water-hardness analysis.
- Prepared standard and sample solutions and handled chemical samples and reagents according to established procedures.
- Performed sample preparation, filtration, solvent extraction and chemical synthesis.
- Recorded measurements, observations and analytical results accurately and maintained organized laboratory records.
- Used FTIR and UV-Visible spectroscopy/photometry for analytical measurements and material/chemical characterization.
- Worked with SEM-EDX, BET and TGA for morphology, elemental, surface-area and thermal characterization.
- Reviewed and interpreted analytical data to identify changes in chemical/material properties.
- Maintained attention to measurement accuracy, repeatability, documentation and laboratory safety.
- Adapted experimental procedures when encountering laboratory problems and applied structured troubleshooting.
- Worked under academic supervision while following established experimental procedures and laboratory safety requirements.
Production & Operations Management - Small-Scale Business
- Managed production, procurement, packaging and dispatch activities while maintaining consistent workflow and product handling.
- Increased daily production capacity by approximately 3× without additional equipment or operating cost through process and workflow improvements.
- Expanded B2B client base from 2 to 8 clients through direct client management and business development.
- Supervised 3 team members, delegated tasks and monitored completion of operational activities.
- Coordinated procurement and material requirements to maintain uninterrupted production.
- Identified operational issues and implemented practical workflow adjustments to improve efficiency.
- Maintained coordination between production, procurement, packaging and dispatch activities.
- Developed practical experience in process monitoring, documentation, quality-conscious production, problem solving and deadline management
