My current role with Henkel as the primary Chemist for the Americas in the Cleaners and Lubricants division has afforded me the ability to expand my fundamentals to several areas of expertise. I have developed several new products for the industrial automotive components market which includes several new lubricants, and a new technology breakthrough in the cleaners industry. Moreover, I have been a member of the team that has created several new conductive coatings for graphite-based battery applications. Throughout my tenure as a TS&D and R&D Chemist, i have had unique opportunities to use all available technologies provided to me by Dow Chemical, including high throughput instruments, where i spent 6 months in Dow's high throughput lab learning better test development methods. I have had the opportunity to become an application development expert in the field of solvents and surfactants dealing primarily with test method development, application, testing, data analysis, and customer interaction.
