Projects could be used for customer presentations, new product development and sales training.• Executed experimental trials from lab to commercial scale. Projects targeted both fundamental research and customer applications with goal of improved performance and customer cost reduction. Results of fundamental research frequently resulted in technical publications. Customer trials resulted in coating formulation cost reduction and performance optimization.• Worked with other vendors to obtain trial materials, including paper, minerals and latex.• Served as designated technical representative for 1 of the 4 major customer accounts in North America. Applied knowledge from lab and pilot studies to help customer achieve overall savings without compromising company revenue or sacrificing performance. These techniques led to two commercial product installations resulting in cost savings of over $2 million at each customer site.• Prioritized internal and external customer projects and delegated testing responsibilities to technicians. • Enhanced customer service by training sales force to address technical issues.• Investigated fundamental mechanisms of product performance, resulting in additional product development and technical publications.• Worked as part of a team to design new products by relaying customer needs, suggesting product specifications, evaluating new products and presenting findings. Actions resulted in both process and specification changes to existing products and new commercial products. Show less

Transitioned from research to research and customer service. Planned, executed and evaluated projects for both research and customer projects. Travelled to customer sites to evaluate product performance and trouble shoot problems.

Designed, executed, analyzed and presented experiments to both internal and external customersAssessed technical issues for customers and offered solutionsWorked as part of research and development team to develop new products

Prioritized projects and designed experiments for technicians to perform. Reviewed, analyzed and distributed results.Evaluated customer needs and addressed issues by trouble shooting process issues, products and component interactions.Constructed and performed presentations based on results from experiments. Presented both internally and to customers.

Designed and executed studies to evaluate new products for development and incorporated existing products into customer formulationsSupported customer product trials

Performed experiments and collected data for analysis. Analyzed data and reported results.On-site support of customer alkaline conversion trial.

Acted as lab technician for independent laboratory in France which concentrated on issues for the paper industry. My specific area of focus was paper coating, where I performed lab experiments and collected data for analysis. Analyzed and prepared data for publication.
