I am a product-support professional with experience in quality, processing engineering, research, training and field support in start-up and Fortune 500 companies.manufacturing chemist DLSmith29@hotmail.com, LinkedIn DerekLSAs a trained analytical chemist, I have worked extensively with infrared, ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence and atomic absorption spectroscopies medium-resolution MS and GC-MSs and SEM and EDXRF SEM.I bring a broad base of experience in analytical instrumentation, active material and electrolyte formulation, battery design and testing and field support. -EV pack installation at DaimlerChrysler and Fiat -DARPA, DoE project manager for battery application programs in conjunction with Sacramento Municipal Utility District and United Defense. -extensive in-plant support of water- and air-cooled formation plants at Johnson Controls -development of dynamic formation profile generator based upon active material ratios and geometryI bring a very practical, hands-on approach to my professional roles; I am active in my application of science to manufacturing. In the course of my last manufacturing role, I led projects as a -formation engineer--embarking on formation optimization profiles that led to additional production of >$100,000 per month for a single battery type, -trainer--teaching battery applications developers how to design batteries based upon plate count and active material ratios, -quality engineer--overseeing test battery builds and placing batteries under test for our major OEM plant and -process engineer--optimizing process parameters for the water-cooled formation of VRLA batteries and implementing automated testing of dry batteries prior to filling.In oilfield chemistry I designed and outfitted a mobile field laboratory capable of performing many chemical and physical tests of process water. Additionally, I developed some novel methods of quantifying the reduction potential of impaired water used in fracturing. I also conducted and documented tests into the -rheology of process water before and after treatment with friction reducers and -efficacy of oxygenation and ozonation as a treatment for arsenic in groundwater prior to adsorptive removal.When you are looking for an industrial scientist who applies the fundamental principles in the books to the bottom line of product out the door, contact me via telephone at 661.317.8470 or electronically via DLSmith29@hotmail.com.
