Highlights:

I have six patents and about 20 peer-reviewed publications, and I have taken four processes from bench to large pilot or commercial scale. I have worked with all sizes of organizations ranging from small teams of 2-4 other researchers or technicians to large organizations such as Exxon Research, Shimizu, and NASA. I have created a range of computer process models of chemical process and chemical reactor operations. I was part of the group receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom for the Apollo 13 rescue.

Companies I like:

All size companies who are aiming to develop new processes or products.

• Scientist
• Chemicals
• Energy
• Aerospace
• Manufacturing
• Process Scaleup
• Computer Modeling
• Research
• Catalysis

My major responsibilities have been planning and designing experiments at bench or pilot level, scaling up results from these to commercial reality and computer modeling useful for scale up, safety and economic evaluation.
