Ruste Kimbrell Email & Phone Number

I am currently employed at Milliken Research as a Advance Technical Specialist. I have worked on numerous projects over the years from fire retardants to digital ink formulation. I have spent the last three years working with acid dye formulation and I am currently exploring basic dye formulations. Working in a research facility gives me the opportunities to work in very different areas since a typical projects last from 6 to 18 months in duration. Because of this I have the capability to change directions and learn completely new fields quickly. I am adept at operating many different types of machinery and analytical equipment such as FTIR, UV-Vis, and Coulter counters. I have a knack for machine operation in general. I believe this come from the fact that I spent almost 12 years as a printer in a manufacturing setting. So I am very comfortable in a production area as well. I have a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of South Carolina Upstate. It took me 7 years to finish my degree from Upstate as I worked a full time job and helped support a wife and 2 children. I previously attended Greenville Technical College were I received an Associate of Science Degree, also working full time, minus the children.What I lack in experience and knowledge is more than compensated for in my ability to learn and master any job quickly and easily.

Listed skills include Chemistry, Research, Characterization, Polymers, and 14 others.
