I have spent my career pursuing my passion for electrolytic processes. And by electrolytic processes I mean any process that involves the use of current or potential (voltage) to create chemical changes. So I have worked as a process engineer or a development engineer in electrolytic smelting (aluminum), electroplating (Cu, Ni, Au, Ag and ferromagnetic alloys) for electronic packaging, disk drives, solar cells and MEMS probe cards. I even consulted for a battery company (Enervault) at one point. I have also done related things (if they are associated with an electrolytic process) like chemical etching or cleaning for ultra-high vacuum.I have 28 patents and 9 publications (mostly having to do with electrolytic processes, of course).I have served in two management roles. At Read-Rite, I led a department which developed electroplated ferromagnetic alloys and improved alumina chemical etching. At the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory I managed a Metal Finishing Shop which cleaned and electroplated materials for use in ultra-high vacuum.Skills: Electroplating, Electroetching, Chemical Etching. Process Development, Process and Equipment Troubleshooting. Process Control: SPC, DOE. Technical Management: team building, delegation, supervision. Chemical Analysis (XRF, autotitrators, stress measurement, surface tension measurement, gas chromatography, atomic absorption spectrophotometry), Metrology (profilometry, XRF, SEM, EDX).Citizenship: U.S.A.Website: https://sites.google.com/view/website-of-thomas-e-dinan-jr/homeCurrent Goals:1. Re-employment as an engineer or a technical manager in an industry involving electrolytic processes and/or renewable energy.2. Learning for technical vitality (I’m currently in the process of learning Python).
