● Led research / product development, including DOE, data analyses and testing, managed researchers and lab activities. ● Managed short & long-term research project portfolio from concept to commercialization, used Stage-Gate for new entry.● New Product Developmento FracLock: provides flowback control for low temperature oil and gas well. o LOTUS: facilitates oil mobility from the fractures but also generates an antifouling surface.o FloPRO: allows sand to suspend / float in the frac fluids during pumping - even under strong shear (commercialized).o DuraSand: most cost-effective resin-coated proppants for sand flowback control (commercialized).● Existing Product Portfolioo Garnet & Chrome: modified coating formulations to achieve the same proppant performance (12% & 8% cost reductions).● Cross-functional teams: updated regularly executive management on R&D projects & trials; oversaw QC investigations.

Wayne, Pa, Us

Developed polymeric coating formulations to reinforce mechanical strength of the proppant (quartz sand), facilitate oil mobility (increase hydrocarbon production), and to provide particle-to-particle bond strength (flowback control) in hydraulic fracturing.● Experiment Design – Coatings: polyurethanes, phenolics, epoxies, organic and inorganic composite reinforcements/fillers, elastomeric additives, waterborne emulsions, and surface properties modifications.● Developed “HEAT” with superior high strength for high temperature wells, outperformed costly ceramic proppants (Commercialized and Patent granted).

Gaithersburg, Md, Us

In Flammability Reduction Group, Fire Research Division.Developed new coating strategies and explored new materials and formulations, to create durable and flexible fire-blocking armor on flammable materials that reduces heat release and/or ignition propensity.● Used renewable and bio-based materials to develop coatings, which reduces the flammability of polyurethane foams and textiles that are commonly used in residential homes.● Evaluated a system approach of coatings on upholstery furniture yielding 50% reduction in heat release rate. ● Mentored summer research students, supervised postdoctoral associates and PhD students for related projects.

College Station, Tx, Us

● Explored suitable materials for flame retardant coatings via Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly.● Published results in peer-reviewed journals and featured on ACS website, C&EN, and other media.● Received the Distinguished Graduate Student Award from Texas A&M University for Excellence in Doctoral Research.● Characterization tools for growth and microstructure of thin films: ellipsometry, goniometer, FT-IR, UV-Vis, XPS, XRD, AFM, TEM and SEM.● Evaluated the thermal stability of flame-retardant coatings according to ASTM standard methods, cone calorimetry, TGA, DSC, and flammability test. Research Assistant Dept. of Chemistry (May 2006 – April 2008)● Synthesized bivalent peptidomimetic fluorescent probes to study protein-protein interactions targeting neurological health.
