Summary
Senior Research Scientist and Director with 14+ years of industrial experience in the chemicals industry. Six Sigma Green Belt research scientist with extensive experience in: homogeneous and heterogeneous new catalyst discovery and catalyst technologies. Epoxy research and development including, but not limited to; plant support, new epoxy product development for automotive, electronics and laminates and coatings.
Education
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL (June 1997 November 2001)
PhD (11/2001) and M.S. (6/1998) in Organic Chemistry
PhD thesis: Homogeneous/Asymmetric Catalysis: Prochiral Ketones to Chiral Alcohols
Thesis Advisor: Professor SonBinh Nguyen
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (September 1993 April 1997)
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
Work History:
August 2015 present Adjunct Chemistry Professor
Morton Community College, College of Dupage, City of Chicago Community Colleges and Purdue University Hammond
Taught lab and lecture for general chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I.
June 2012 July 2015 GreatPoint Energy, Senior Research Chemist, Chicago, IL
Led the new catalyst discovery for the conversion of coal and biomass into substitute natural gas (SNG) and other higher value derivatives.
Worked on the global team to implement proprietary GreatPoint Energy catalyst technology into a commercial-scale ($1.3B) coal to SNG manufacturing plant in China.
November 2001 May 2012 The Dow Chemical Company, Senior Research Chemist
Epoxy R&D Freeport, TX
Led the catalyst discovery effort for the development of new technology on the synthesis of bisphenol liquid and solid epoxy resins. The implemented technology enabled an overall decrease of 20% in waste water production and a 35% reduction in process cycle time from the current practiced technology.
Synthesized and screened catalysts for the epoxidation of divinylbenzene (DVB) using O2 and H2O2 as oxidants for the synthesis of a new, low viscosity, high heat resistant liquid epoxy resin (divinylbenzene dioxide, DVBDO).
Developed new products and applications for the following market segments:
1.Automotive: developed novel high impact, crash durable adhesives. Using liquid and solid epoxy resins and diisocyanates, a new low viscosity, highly stable urethane adhesive was developed
2.Electronics and Laminates: diisocyanates and epoxy resins were used to develop materials that were flame retardant, had high thermal stability, low viscosity and high fracture toughness
3.Coatings and Composites: Developed the first curable water soluble liquid epoxy (acrylate) resins. New materials were synthesized and developed for applications that target low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and formulations for highly weather able coatings and non-halogenated flame retardants
EO/EG (Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Glycol) South Charleston, WV
Provided plant support for Dow ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol plants in North America, Europe and the Joint Ventures (JV) in the Middle East.
1.Responsible for plant upsets and catalyst start-ups
2.Characterized and mitigated unwanted downstream by-products formed during the manufacturing process
3.Monitored and validated product to ensure sold material remained within customer specification
Led the catalyst discovery program on new technology that would enable Dow and JV partners to switch from liquid to gas-phase production of mono and diethylene glycols. The new technology would have a realization of 30-40% reduction in energy costs and 15-35% reduction in capital costs for all new plants. Responsibilities included leading a team of 4-5 technicians and 1-2 professionals (engineer/chemist).
1.Led the project team that screened over 300 heterogeneous catalysts in lab scale
2.Identified 5-10 high potential candidates and worked with outside commercial catalysts manufacturers to secure catalyst supplies and feedstock materials and then validated the commercial supplier s catalyst performance
3.Conducted three successful pilot plant scale-up trials (10-20 gallons daily of made product)
