Dawn Watson
CHROMacademy Product Manager
Element
Dr. Watson completed her Ph.D. in synthetic inorganic chemistry at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, followed by postdoctoral research on small molecule reaction kinetics at Princeton University. Following several years working for a major instrument manufacturer, she became a technical expert for CHROMacademy in 2013. She has expertise in various analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, GC MS, LC MS, NMR, and molecular spectroscopy, as well as numerous wet chemistry and sample preparation techniques.
Colin Towers
Senior Technical Support Chemist
Element
After completing a degree in pharmacy, Colin Towers pursued a career in analytical chemistry. Following three years performing routine testing and three years instrument maintenance and calibration, he moved into a role as a method development and validation specialist in contract research. Gaining 11 years’ experience in developing methods for HPLC, LC-MS, GC, GC-MS and SPE in a high throughput commercial environment, this was supplemented by three years lecturing in forensic analytical toxicology and a further three years working as a community pharmacist. Towers has now been with Crawford Scientific for eight years as a technical specialist, consultant, and trainer.
