Ahira Medalla started her career in chemical risk analysis and thirdhand exposures. Her research focused on comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based nontargeted analysis to profile novel compounds and trace organic contaminants of concern. She has implemented sample preparation techniques, including solid-phase extraction and QuEChERS, to develop standard operating procedures that attain high extract recovery in complex matrices. As an Associate Health Scientist, Ms. Medalla aims to transition from assessing potential hazards to assessing occupational, environmental, and drug exposures.
Ms. Medalla supports toxic tort litigation for both plaintiff and defense law firms. She assists in exposure assessments, document analyses, literature reviews, and expert reports. Additionally, she employs established alcohol and drug frameworks to analyze risk-given exposure histories.
