  • Flotek Industries, Inc.
    Formulation Development Manager - Microemulsions, Solvents & Surfactants (Oil & Gas/Agriculture)
    Flotek Industries, Inc. Nov 2011 - Apr 2020
    Houston, Tx, Us
    FLOTEK TIMELINE: Soon after starting with Flotek in 2011 as a Research Scientist, I began managing direct reports and additionally took on the title of Formulation Development Manager (while still retaining my technical emphasis). Within 2 years, my formulation development group grew from 2 to 10 and as my management capacity increased, so too did my technical involvement as I took on another title as Research Fellow. In recent years, my time was split into thirds concentrated on (1) lab work (2) people and FormDev management and (3) intellectual property – IP functions as it related to product inventions, patent filing, etc. FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT MANAGER CAPACITY: In this particular role, I concentrated on owning product development output and driving R&D performance across our 10-person group. I had my hand in just about everything related to our IP portfolio including research, testing, patents, commercialization, and refinement of our oil/gas and agriculture products. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Developed 40 new products over tenure with 30 realizing full commercialization. • Grew patent portfolio from 6 to 90 in 7-years to protect all aspects of company’s newly developed well-treatment technology. • Built a FormDev Group that was renowned for expertise in microemulsion phase behavior and efficient formulation of new kinds of CnF® products. • Amplified efficacy of statistical analysis by implementing data evaluation best practices.
  • Flotek Industries, Inc.
    Research Fellow
    Flotek Industries, Inc. 2015 - 2020
    Houston, Tx, Us
    RESEARCH FELLOW CAPACITY: As a Research Fellow on a progressive technical ladder, I served as a scientific thought leader responsible for developing an understanding of product performance, communicating my knowledge to different areas of the business, formulating next gen products, and obtaining patent protection for these new applications. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Achieved diversification of CnF® solvent and surfactant chemistry.• Made a discovery regarding low surface tension solvents that was patented and formulated into a new product introduced to the gas well market. • Invented a new kind of agricultural adjuvant based on bio-sourced materials.
  • E Ink Corporation
    Pigment Group Leader & Principal Scientist
    E Ink Corporation Aug 2008 - Nov 2011
    Billerica, Ma, Us
    At E Ink, I oversaw a full satellite lab and projects dedicated to facilitating the science behind electrophoretic ink displays (specifically development of polymer pigment surface treatments with controlled grafting density, molecular weight, and chemical composition). Along with this work, I regularly collaborated with our Product Development and Physics Groups to advance our development efforts and served on the Vice President’s leadership team involved in larger strategy initiatives. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Achieved precise and quantitative control of electrophoretic pigment particle charge by means of control of polymer grafting density, MW, and fluoro composition. • Completed preparation of well-defined silica coated core-shell titania nanoparticles to improve white state of the display.• Proposed model for the charge mechanism of electrophoretic pigment particles with fluoro-polymer shell.
  • Dow Corning
    Mit Visiting Scientist
    Dow Corning Sep 2003 - Apr 2008
    Midland, Michigan, Us
    Following early capacities with Dow as a Research Specialist/Scientist, I was given the opportunity to leverage my expertise with self-assembly to support work conducted by the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnology (ISN), a joint venture between MIT, Dow Corning, and the U.S. Army. During this time, I contributed extensively to projects involving block copolymers and development of superhydrophobic silicone nanofibers as well as identified emerging innovations in nanotechnology. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Invented surface functionalized superhydrophobic silicone nanofibers resulting in a Langmuir paper (cited 558 times since publication in 2005) and 2 patents.• Successfully acquired 3 years of U.S. Army funding to further the evolution of nanofiber membranes used in breathable protective textiles. • Spearheaded global incubator project on self-assembling nanostructured silicone materials for photonic applications.
