Eugene Muruga

Eugene Muruga is a chemical analyst with a background in analytical chemistry, quality control, and applied laboratory research. He has hands-on experience in physicochemical analysis, process monitoring, and data-driven quality assurance across industrial and research settings. His work focuses on translating laboratory data into practical improvements in product quality, safety, and process efficiency, with research interests in environmental chemistry and ocean acidification.

I have experience working across industrial quality control, applied research support, and analytical problem-solving environments. As a Quality Control Intern at Capwell Industries, I carried out routine and instrumental analyses including NIR, Mixolab, falling number, granulometry, moisture content, pH, bulk density, iron spot, and aflatoxin testing. This role strengthened my skills in laboratory accuracy, quality assurance, process control, and compliance with food safety standards.

My experience combines hands-on laboratory testing, structured analysis, documentation discipline, and process-oriented thinking, allowing me to contribute effectively in regulated, data-driven, and research-focused roles.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Analytical Chemistry from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. My undergraduate research focused on ocean acidification and carbonate chemistry, examining changes in aragonite availability and shell integrity under simulated future pH conditions. I applied FTIR spectroscopy, controlled dissolution experiments, and physicochemical measurements to generate practical, application-oriented environmental chemistry data.
