Biography:

Paula A. Hahn is a quality assurance manager for Idaho National Laboratory’s Ultratrace Analytical Laboratory. She analyzes samples using various instrumentation such as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). She performs experiments in a glovebox at INL’s Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) and performs general chemistry techniques in various laboratories. She is in charge of operating and maintaining instruments, performing reviews on data generated. She has created laboratory instructions for research activities at MFC. Her duties also include assembling and presenting experimental data using spreadsheets and power point presentations. She prepares reports for project managers in the National Homeland Security and Separations departments and briefs technicians and interns on working safely within the boundaries of established work control documents. She holds a master’s in physical chemistry from University of Missouri-Kansas City and a bachelor’s in chemistry from Iowa State University.
