Kofi Jerry Strachan's Problem Solving Experience:

1. Provided evidence to team members of interference occurring in dissolution tests on a solid dosage form.
2. Adjusted a beverage formula using principal component analysis to remove an astringent aftertaste.
3. For fourth year project 3 diazo compounds were prepared: a methoxy diazo ester, benzoxy diazo ester and a silyloxy diazo ester. A major obstacle in the synthesis was overcome by selecting a proper medium to allow the reaction to proceed at a higher yield. First major experience with principal component analysis.
