TECHNICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Complete lab setup and training of technicians for area lab serving Baroid
Drilling Fluids and Halliburton Cementing Product Service Lines in the Rockies.
First to put in service iPRO line of consistometers and UCA instruments with
internet based instrument control, monitoring and reporting.
Introduced and provided hands-on technical lead of new polymer-based aqueous
drilling fluids, creating new business opportunities in the Rockies.
Managed modern analytical service laboratory (ICP, ICP-MS, AA, UV/Vis, GC,
GC-MS, FTIR, HPLC, NMR, XRD) with annual budget of $1,250,000, including 12
chemists and technicians.
Set up two new labs and trained personnel on multiple visits to Argentinean
production sites.
Initiated & applied statistical process control (SPC) methodologies to
standardize global labs.
Installed new HP ICP-MS instrument and was first to earn SC DHEC approval
for use in environmental analyses. Trained technicians to routinely operate
and maintain the instrument.
Developed ultra-trace analytical methods in support of large R&D effort
to develop a new low-cost route to the commercial production of semiconductor
grade Si.
Designed and built laser excited photoluminescence spectrometer to measure
sub-part-per-billion impurities in semiconductor grade GaAs – outperformed
later commercial units.
Directed Beta-test program for the commercial introduction of Perkin-Elmer's
Plasma II ICP atomic emission spectrometer. Worked closely with their design
and production teams to optimize the instrument's performance in an actual R&D
lab setting.
Coordinated analytical effort for $3 million research project that pioneered
the use of a modified industrial product for pharmaceutical use. All work was
done under GMP/GLP regulations.
