About
I'm Pablo, an analytical chemist with over 20 years of experience in precise, quality-focused chemical analysis.
My background includes atomic spectroscopy, trace metal analysis, and method validation for complex matrices, with experience across battery materials, nanomedicine, environmental analysis, and radiochemistry. I've worked in state-of-the-art laboratory environments, from method development to data interpretation and reporting.
I have a strong interest in laboratory quality systems, good analytical practice, and continuous improvement, including topics related to ISO/IEC 17025.
This site is a personal platform for sharing educational tools, knowledge, and insights with the analytical chemistry community.
