• Successfully implemented and led the R&D department to excellence by implementing a metrics-based management approach, aligning processes with business goals, and fostering a culture of innovation that resulted in improved efficiency and profitability.• Secured funding for innovative research projects by writing successful grant proposals for prestigious organizations such as the National Research Council and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and the Alberta Innovates Tech Futures Vouchers of Canada. These projects resulted in significant contributions to the field of science and technology and the growth of the company.• Optimized product performance and quality by conducting comprehensive formulation studies using a range of specialized instruments and testing methods. This resulted in the successful development and introduction of a variety of demulsifiers, continuous/batch corrosion inhibitors, paraffin wax inhibitors, asphaltene dispersants, iron sulfide dissolvers, clay stabilizers, failure analysis, and other related products/services that met and exceeded industry standards.• Served as a mentor and instructor to a diverse team including senior researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students, and postdoctoral fellows, guiding them through every stage of their projects or theses.

• I achieved accurate quantification of vitamins in milk, water, and solids by developing and implementing HPLC methods, improving the overall quality of the research and products.• Optimized the extraction process for biomolecules from various biomass byproducts, enhancing the extraction unit, refining sample preparation, and implementing semi-continuous extraction procedures. This resulted in significant 90% yields, increased purity, and accelerated production rates.• Through the use of cutting-edge analytical techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy, I characterized the chemical and physical properties of polymer and biomass products, allowing for a more informed decision-making process and product development.• As a mentor and instructor, I worked closely with a diverse team of senior, scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students, my role involved guiding them through every stage of their work. I provided hands-on support throughout the research process, including experimental planning, equipment construction, data analysis, and interpretation of results. In addition, I assisted with writing articles and provided personalized feedback and constructive suggestions to refine research techniques and develop innovative solutions to complex challenges.
