2017-Present

• Manage a contract and consulting chemical company specializing in branched, polymeric building blocks.

• Custom synthesis from the milligram to kilogram scale.

• Specializing in high-pressure and air-sensitive reactions, water-soluble materials.

• Contracts included multidisciplinary synthetic projects (e.g., Mg catalyst; Pt, Pd, Fe, Cu, B, and Si nanoparticles; rigid scaffolds for fluorescent probes). 1994-2016

• Supervised laboratory personnel.

• Projects included diverse organic, inorganic, and polymeric syntheses with classical and supramolecular methodologies.

• Train in materials characterization procedures and data interpretation.

• Implemented safety requirements and procedures with recurring assessment and training.

• Collaborated, crafted, and edited technical manuscripts, reviews, proposals, and reports

[i.e., peer-reviewed articles and communications; book chapters and journal reviews; NSF (National and International), ACS-PRF, DOD (Army and Navy) and SBIR/STTR

(Phase I and II)].

• Submitted disclosures, summaries, processes, utilities and responded to office actions while working with University Tech Transfer and patent attorneys.

• Designed and constructed a fully automated pilot plant (10- and 20-liter reactors) that included a 2-gallon high-pressure equipment.

• Coordinated collaborative and contract efforts at the University with several companies on product development (e.g., new dielectric materials for transformer fluids; adamantane derivatives of pharmaceutical interest).

• Participated in the design, creation, and reporting of numerous new dendritic- and single-step, self-assembled, fractal-based materials (e.g, dendrimers with H-bonding, metal-binding, or electrically conducting units; fractal materials with solar cell sensitizer, light emitting diode, and morphology changing properties.

• Participation as a referee for numerous communications, papers, and proposals (e.g., Macromolecules, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., and Polymer, etc).

• Experience with molecular modeling software (e.g., Materials Studio from Biovia and Jaguar from Schrödinger) as well as website design. Familiarity with numerous graphics- and manuscript-based software programs.

Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry 12/91-University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida. Started and completed course work and examinations at Louisiana State University. Transferred to the University of South Florida to continue working with Prof. George R. Newkome who relocated. Dissertation Title: Synthesis, Characterization, and Potential Applications of Cascade Polymers and Molecules. Key research accomplishments encompassed the preparation of highly branched, polymers and the first, all-saturated hydrocarbon, unimolecular micelle. Minor: Inorganic Chemistry

Master of Science in Industrial Chemistry 12/83-University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida. Thesis Title: Reactions of Vinamidinium and Azavinamidinium Salts with Organometallic/Borane Reagents and Nitrile Activated Alkanes. Studies involved industrial reactions, advanced thermodynamics, material mass balance and transport, large-scale reaction considerations, chemical plant design, batch versus continuous reaction design, industrial analytical techniques, industrial environmental health and safety, and patent law. Bachelor of Science in Chemistry 6/82-University of Central Florida. Undergraduate research involved the detection and quantification of radium in Florida citrus using mass spectroscopy.
