Professional Experience
United Asphalt Company
Berlin, NJ
The Dow Chemical Company
Midland, MI
2008-2013
Rohm and Haas Company,
Philadelphia, PA.
1973-2008
2013-2014 Product Development and Customer Support Scientist
Develop and support new products based upon elastomeric roofing binders
Trouble shoot existing formulations (both acrylic and asphalt based) when production issues developed
Initiate standard operating procedures to alleviate inconsistencies during production runs
Introduce safety protocols and equipment
2011-2013 Technologist Leader Building and Construction Chemicals (Elastomeric Roof
Coatings Technical Service)
Provide technical service support to Dow customers that utilize the elastomeric roofing binders.
Provide testing for customer supplied roofing coatings, even if they contain competitive products. Interpret test data and provide feedback to customers on the performance of their materials compared to those containing the Dow elastomeric roof product line.
Suggest possible formulation fixes or alternative approaches to improve the quality of a customer supplied roof coating.
2007- 2011 Scientist Building and Construction Products (Wood Composites)
Develop and evaluate new adhesive resins for composite wood structures. The new resins are more suitable, environmentally, than the urea/formaldehyde resin currently used in the industry.
Assist in creating innovative processes in the lab to mimic the manufacturing procedures used in the industry.
Test varied wood composite materials as required by the industry.
2004-2007 Scientist (AFC) Digital Imaging Technical Service
Perform comparative analysis of competitive ink jet dispersions to the Rohm and Haas product line. Develop and suggest starting point ink formulations or formulation adaptations that would maximize the performance of the Acryjet products within a customer’s catalogue of products.
Assist customers in trouble shooting their existing ink formulations and provide appropriate adjustments to the formulations.
Provide analytical and laboratory support to customers using or developing formulations around the Acryjet product line.
1998-2004 Scientist (AFC) Digital Imaging Research
Part of a project team developing inkjet ink formulations and additives for ink jet inks that will improve the resistance properties of ink jet printed materials. Primary responsibilities included: experimental design, developing and modifying ink jet ink formulations to facilitate use of our additives in a variety of ink jet test situations, understanding the functions and interactions of the various ink components and developing test methods for evaluating the performance of the inks. Also responsible for collecting and evaluating data and reporting results.
Responsible for maintaining records and documentation on the program progress and milestones
1996-1998 Scientist (Corporate Exploratory Research) - Flat Panel Display Program
Part of a project team developing stress free optical plastic sheet for use in flat panel displays. Primary responsibilities included developing and improving techniques for measuring gel content within the process raw materials and the finished sheet. This included daily data collection and evaluation for process feed back reports. Result was a stress free optical quality sheet as required by customers.
Independently worked on the development of coatings formulations and application techniques (in a clean room environment) for an acrylic resin substrate candidate.
Helped develop twin screw reactive extrusion process for the production of imidized acrylic resin. This included extruder operation and maintenance, SOP preparation, analytical support, engineering, data processing and raw materials handling for the program.
1994-1996 Technical Assistant (Corporate Exploratory Research) - Flat Panel Display Program
1992-1994 Technical Assistant (Exploratory Polymers Research) - Polyolefin Adhesion
Improvement
1992-1994 Building 155 Design Team Member
1990-1992 Technical Assistant (Exploratory Polymers Research) - Polyglutarimide
Compatabilization
1981-1990 Technical Assistant (Architectural Coatings) – Opaque Polymer
1976-1981 Technical Assistant (Quality Control Laboratory)
1973-1976 Technical Assistant (Plastics Engineering Laboratory)
Awards
2000 Promoted to Level 7 (scientist)
1996 Promoted to Level 6 (scientist)
1996 S.J. Talucci Quality Award
1992 Otto Haas Award for Technical Excellence
1981-present Dinner for Two Awards (cash awards for single event successes)
1998- for light diffuser film work
1997- 2 awards in recognition of efforts on the reactive extrusion process
1995- for initial development of inkjet inks
1991- for preparing an SOP for the Werner-Pfleiderer Extruder
1987- for work on stabilizing opaque polymers against active metals
1984- for efforts around the development and scale-up of a new opaque polymer version
