• Technical lead on a project to improve integrated financial planning, portfolio management, and strategic analysis for the Oil Sands Business unit.• Collaborating with the business to streamline planning processes, supporting organizational change management, and interfacing with a supporting software vendor to ensure needed functionality is developed.

Houston, Texas, Us

• Accountable for development of technical policy and governance approach for capital project lookbacks.

Houston, Texas, Us

• Lead team accountable for large-scale oil sands field technology pilots. • Lead scoping and execution of conceptual engineering studies and subsequent business case analysis.• Constructed economic models, documented business cases and quantified technical uncertainties.• Integrated key technical uncertainties into pilot scope and test plans. Coordinated pilot design and operation.• Communicated status and results, and collaborated with other functions and management throughout pilots.• Served as a technical resource for oil sands technologies at pre-pilot maturity. Supported due diligence, concept development and best practices in business case analysis of startup-stage technologies. • Key accomplishments: 1) Successful execution of the $20M GT-OTSG field pilot project. The GT-OTSG is a novel cogeneration technology, which improves the economics of oil sands steam generation while reducing the lifecycle CO2 footprint. 2) Led commercial concept development and pre-/post-pilot business case analysis for the $90MM e-SAGD field demonstration. Assumed full accountability for pilot shortly after handover to Operations. The e-SAGD technology is an improved reservoir recovery concept for oil sands. 3) Successful negotiation of three pilot data and technology license agreements. 4) Spearheaded use of probabilistic analysis methods for technology evaluation. 5) ConocoPhillips Canada Spirit Award for technology collaboration and implementation and ConocoPhillips Archimedes award for collaboration on technology projects.

• Performed technical evaluation of near-commercial energy production technology for oil sands applications. • Identified and evaluated novel processes to enhance oil sands thermal efficiency and reduce CO2 footprint.• Key accomplishments: 1) Key technical contributor to a study identifying optimal boiler/flue gas treatment combinations for oil sands applications. 2) Conducted a techno-economic evaluation on a novel steam generation technology. 3) Supported the Canadian business unit development of a CO2 capture strategy. 4) Introduced NASA’s technology readiness level (TRL) system to the company, now an integral part of the technology assessment process across the company.

• Consulted for alternative energy and fuel cell clients, focusing on balance of plant, and thermal and system integration for customers’ technology.• Key accomplishment: Named inventor on patent filed by client.

• Synthesized and tested catalysts, novel ceramic catalyst supports, and hydrogen separation membranes for oxidative reforming of various fuels.• System studies related to reactor design, system packaging, and thermal efficiency.• Key accomplishment: Novel trace ammonia clean-up method for an ammonia-based fuel cell system.

Chicago, Illinois, Us

• Supported development of man-portable (1-20W) fuel cell devices with integrated methanol reforming. • Key accomplishment: Method for bonding porous ceramic catalyst supports to dense ceramic substrates.

Richland, Wa, Us

• Addressed corrosion protection issues regarding structured fuel processing catalysts. • Synthesized advanced structured fuel processing catalysts for processing hydrocarbon fuels ranging from natural gas to diesel, for use in microchannel fuel processors.
