Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Ayala is an Air Pollution Specialist with 12 years of analytical and forensic laboratory experience, currently supporting QA/QC and LIMS-driven workflows at the California Air Resources Board. He brings deep hands-on expertise in GC-MS and LC-MS assay development and validation, competitive ELISA, and toxicology from roles in state forensic labs and industry research. Comfortable working in ISO 17025 environments, he has a track record of translating complex analytical methods into auditable, regulated lab practices. His academic foundation—MS in Forensic Science (UC Davis) and a BS in Biochemistry (USC)—is matched by practical research on urinary biomarkers for respiratory toxicant exposure. Unusually for someone in regulatory lab support, he has bridged both criminalist forensic casework and applied product-focused science at food/biotech employers. Based in Sacramento, he combines technical rigor with process automation and LIMS administration to improve laboratory throughput and data integrity.
