Research Associate 1999 – 2004
Developed and implemented new process measurement systems and manufacturing processes. Led projects with
multifunctional teams to achieve company goals.
• Prepared documentation and procedures to meet environmental air emission regulation compliance for air
emission monitoring systems.
• Developed and implemented small-scale process simulation equipment, including model rotary and vacuum tray
dryers, and humidity conditioning chambers providing process understanding for synthetic chemicals
manufacturing.
• Developed and implemented a mass spectrometer system to measure residual gasses in a high temperature
vacuum furnace to allow processing of optical glasses for lightweight optics applications.
• Developed and implemented a mass spectrometer system to analyze the solvent vapor composition inside bulk
chemical dryers both under vacuum and at atmospheric pressure to determine if the atmosphere was explosive.
Senior Chemist 1996 - 1999
Developed and implemented new process measurement systems. Provided technical consultation and leadership
to multifunctional teams to achieve business unit goals.
• Developed and implemented a $750K process mass spectrometer system for determination of complex
mixtures of volatile organic compounds applied to the determination of lower explosive limit in coating machines.
• Developed and implemented a process mass spectrometer system for the determination of complex mixtures of
volatile organic compounds at low concentration for environmental air emission monitoring.
• Designed, developed and implemented a near infrared system for moisture and solvent measurement in bulk
chemical dryers to reduce unit manufacturing costs by preventing material from being over dried.
• Developed and implemented a process GC system for on-line process control of a distillation process that
allowed direct release of product, eliminated a $750,000 capital investment in tanks and improved product yield.
Analytical Chemist 1992 – 1995
Developed new process measurement systems, and process measurements. Provided technical consultation to
multifunctional teams using process measurements to improve the understanding of the process.
