Principal Scientist
CurrentResearch and Development in multiple strategic segments of the business. The primary focus is the expansion of our product portofolio, with a secondary emphasis on the continuous improvement within our current manufacturing streams. New products will derive from our core Cumene-Phenol-Cyclohexanone-Caprolactam process, where our world scale cost position will allow us more ready access to new markets. Under this R&D umbrella are new product identification, laboratory scale synthesis, scale up to small batch pilot units and preliminary full scale manufacturing. Additional activities include development of analytical methods for all potential new products in the pipeline, process chemistry support for the existing products and the continuous development of technology to enhance all of the processes.
