Objective: To gain a position in a process development setting where I can leverage my experience in synthetic chemistry, particle treatments, and modeling to effectively provide support for high impact projects from lab scale to final production.

Related ExperienceLaboratory

Industrial synthetic chemistry experience at the lab scale with a focus on particle synthesis and treatment. A strong focus on heteroatom chemistry for novel surface treatments (Si, N, P).

Synthetic experience in polymer synthesis for the incorporation of reactive end groups and polymers with strongly adsorbing moieties.

Method development and organization of large scale studies on the effects of various particle morphologies and treatments on rheology and curing properties of various polymeric systems.

Research Currently employed as a Senior Research Associate in a process development group exploring novel surface treatment and particle

synthesis techniques for next generation materials and process improvements for existing product lines. Worked as part of a research team to develop new metal-organic framework compounds with novel properties at Worcester

Polytechnic Institute. This research was pursued with the goal of producing new compounds with high porosity and surface areas. Responsibilities focused on synthesis and preparation of ligands for use in developing molecular networks with desired properties.

Special Equipment Hands on experience with the techniques and methods needed to collect and interpret common analytical techniques including

GC/MS, LC/MS, GPC, TGA/DSC, NMR, SEM, and powder XRD. Extensive collaboration on the collection and interpretation of heteroatom NMR spectroscopy using a wide range of techniques.

Developed several microcontroller based systems for work at Cabot Corporation and for high powered rocketry applications. These include an automated system to control a high vacuum apparatus for analytical tests, and a robust heating controller and measurement suite designed to support engine testing for high powered rocketry applications on an extremely limited budget.

Programming experience in C++, Python, Matlab, and the Arduino IDE. Experience operating and interpreting images collected at the nanometer scale using Atomic Force Microscopy.

Work HistoryCabot Corporation; Billerica, MA Sept. 2011 – PresentSenior Research Associate – Process Development
