Matthew Cross
8450 N. 70th E. Ave. • Owasso, OK 74055 • matt.cross@okstate.edu • 918-274-2948
EDUCATION
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry Expected: December 2009
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK GPA: 3.2
CERTIFICATIONS
Certified by Accurate Environemental Inc. to perform the following analyses:
• Cyanide; SM4500E
• Total Dissolved Solids; SM2540 C/B
• Chemical Oxygen Demand; SM5220D
• Hardness(Ca,Mg,Total); SM2340C
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Under supervision of Dr. Allen Apblett Current
• Investigating new analytical techniques for detection of cyanide in water and waste water samples using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Infared Spectroscopy and determining possibility of using cyanide metal complexes to enhance signal and allow the analysis to be done on the sample with no need for distillation as in current EPA methods.
• Looking at possible conversion of cyanide into ammonia and carbon dioxide utilizing molybdenum and tungsten bronzes.
