Description
CAREER SUMMARY Highly creative and innovative, experienced in managing, directing projects and leading a group of scientists and engineers in developing / conducting industrial research programs that successfully meets business goals. Conducted research and development of processes and products with several significant accomplishments in industrial R&D, including pilot plant and scale-up and product development. Good working knowledge of several process chemistries, separations processes, e.g. protein purifications, chromatography, inorganic and organic synthesis, catalysis, surfactants and emulsions, polymerization and CMP for semiconductor VLSI. Demonstrated significant results in: * Controlled delivery of actives for personal care applications and API using novel particle engineering I invented * Ion exchange for protein purification * Siloxane and sol-gel chemistries including organic-inorganic hybrids such as titania and zirconia silicates * Catalyst development and characterizations suspension & emulsion polymerizations of vinyl monomers * Materials & slurry optimization in CMP (chemical mechanical planarization) for semiconductors VLSI * Development and implementation of new/alternative chemical processes * Process improvement and process design including separations such as distillation, solvent extractions * Customer support and services including new product launches and tollgate / NPI disciplines * Zeolite catalysis, oxidation and hydrogenation using noble metal catalysis * Pilot plant development and laboratory development of new process chemistry * Computer modeling, simulation and statistics (such as Design of Experiments), design for Six Sigma/DMAIC * Project management and economic evaluation, technical feasibility including Tollgate or Stage gate for NPI * Product development and plastisol or PVC dispersion resin formulations for coatings & wear layer for flooring * Successful introduction and implementation of new core technology in computational Chemical engineering
