I am an innovative and high-performing professional with a Ph.D in Chemistry and extensive experience polymer science, materials science and chemical process engineering within industrial manufacturing sectors, holding 20 US patents. Throughout my career, I’ve liaised with various functional teams to develop chemical process controls within research projects through criteria designing and experimenting, exploring a wide range of resources to achieve an overarching objective for the organization such as cost-optimized lithography. I leverage my ability to apply my technical knowledge to effectively resolve issues and innovate processes while guiding direction for multiple research projects focused on developing components for chemical projects simultaneously. I remain committed to progressing, growing, and developing as a professional, conducting in-depth scientific exploration to create end-products optimizing chemical manufacturing processes.My Scientific Acumen includes:- Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Multistep organic synthesis of small molecules, electronic materials, monomers and dendrimers- Polymer Chemistry: Living and free radical polymerization, polycondensation, ring-opening polymerization- Broad knowledge of application-specific characterization techniques: 1D and 2D NMR, MS, MALDI-TOF, UV/Vis, IR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetry (TGA), X-ray diffraction, thermal optical polarized microscopy, cyclovoltammetry, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, SEM- Separation Techniques: LC, GPC, HPLC, electrophoresis- Surface Chemistry: Contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, adhesion testing.- Other: Polymethacrylate / Polyacrylate Synthesis, Polymer Crosslinking (Heat, UV), adhesive formulations, coating formulations, sealant formulationsMy Technical Acumen includes:- Visual Basic Script and Turbo Pascal: Write programs to facilitate processing of larger amounts of scientific data and to control an IEEE-488 interface for electrochemical measurements.- Scientific software: Beilstein and SciFinder; ChemDraw, IsisDraw; Hyperchem, X-Win NMR
