Ottawa, Ca

*Researched and improved Iogen’s ethanol fermentation process and increased the efficiency of the world’s first demonstration facilities (Iogen’s clean-burning cellulosic ethanol fuel, made from agricultural residues).*Conducted bio fuel (cellulose ethanol) research, managed research projects (in capacity of Project Leader), and supported demonstration facility and commercial design according to GMP requirement or ISO 9001:2000 compliant.*Improved and perfected fermentation processes from micro-organisms (yeast and bacteria), various bio-hazard chemicals and antibiotics, as well as different mechanical parameters (such as oxygen supply and stirring speeds). * Conducted fermentation in lab, pre-scale and scale up activities and researched best parameters for commercial design.* Conducted Risk 1 and 2 microorganisms experiments in specialized containment facilities in strict compliance with WHIMs and Health and Safety requirements.* Designed fermentation experiments and set up laboratory in compliance with bio-safety guidelines through collaborating with demonstration and other R & D teams, or independently. * Wrote weekly comprehensive project summary/research reports concerning Iogen ethanol fermentation progress and presented findings to management team on monthly basis.

* Worked under the regulation of bio-safety principles and practices of genetic modified microorganisms (equivalent to containments level 2 and 3). * Performed small and large scales GMP fermentation for cell culture and bacteria, and significantly increased profit margins for company. * Coordinated biochemical and microbiological fermentation projects and followed cGMP procedures in collaboration with Quality Assurance and Quality Control departments. * Wrote and reviewed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) concerning company’s fermentation process and corresponding biochemical and microbiological analysis. * Conducted extensive media/solution preparation, sterilization, and equipment cleaning.

* Managed Research and Development lab resources in GLP environment according to bio-safety principles and practices.* Evaluated potential fermentation production sites, evaluated quality control focused feedback from farmers, and discussed production and manufacturing challenges and costs with chosen manufacturers. * Travelled across Ontario and Quebec from May to October each year to visit farmers, explained and demonstrated how to use BIOS products and resolved any potential quality control issues. * Travelled across Ontario and Quebec from January to April each year, visited vendor’s manufacturing facilities, and monitored fermentation production progression. * Developed and implemented research protocols aimed at testing and evaluating performance of new and existing products. * Conducted laboratory (including bioreactor research) and field tests and examined the efficacy of company’s products (containing special biological signal molecules). * Applied quality assessment programs for products developed by BIOS Agriculture Inc. to improve nitrogen fixation activity in soybean plants. * Recorded, analyzed and reported field and lab results to senior management (weekly basis).
