David Dunmire

David Dunmire's work experience starts with their current role as a Data Scientist at Converge Technology Solutions Corp., where they work as a consultant. In this role, they balance their time between software web app development and data science, using open source libraries and partner platforms like AWS and IBM. David collaborates with colleagues to develop production-ready software and machine learning solutions for clients.

Before this, David worked as a Senior Chemist at 3M Company from 2006 to 2011. David specialized in analytical technology involving infrared and Raman vibrational spectroscopy and microscopy. Their work supported new product and technology developments across different business units. David managed concurrent projects, estimated time and cost, negotiated priorities, and documented results for customers and clients.

Prior to that, David served as a Post-Doctoral researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology from 2002 to 2004. Their work focused on nanomaterials and their applications in optical sensing, detection, spectroscopy, and microscopy. David utilized surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and trace analyte/sample detection techniques using Raman spectroscopy and microscopy.

David's earliest work experience was as a Graduate Assistant at Syracuse University from 1997 to 2002. David developed and advanced Raman optical activity (ROA) instrumentation and utilized infrared vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) techniques for protein studies. David also used computational modeling and VCD spectroscopic techniques to determine the absolute configuration of antifungal agents.

Overall, David Dunmire has a diverse background in analytical technology, spectroscopy, microscopy, and data science.

David Dunmire earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Eastern Nazarene College from 1993 to 1997. David then went on to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemistry (Physical) at Syracuse University from 1997 to 2002. In addition to their formal education, David obtained a certification in the "Python for Everybody Specialization" from Coursera, although the specific month and year of its completion are not provided.
