I'm a scientist who gets excited about and involved in lots of projects. Whether it’s in the area of my qualification in Industrial Chemistry, tax matters and expert advice about government grants or something as nugatory as etymology (especially to bring up in team meetings). I like to think that I know a little bit about a lot of things.I've worked for 25+ years in active R&D, corporate management and commercialisation of R&D projects and in professional communications to government and investor audiences.Right now, I fill my days by:*providing consulting to clients on the R&D Tax Incentive, Export Market Development Grant and other government incentives expert (Access RnD Tax Solutions)* providing Hydrometallurgical consulting for minerals and wastes (DCS Technical)* doing R&D for myself (Loop Hydrometallurgy)* technical writing on a wide range of scientific topics (Chemistry in Australia magazine)* running a national careers and mentoring program for the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.* adjunct senior lecturer at UNSW SydneyIn my occasional spare time, I'm a husband and father, and I tell bad jokes as an amateur standup comedian.
