Profile Summary

I am a methodical scientist with excellent analytical abilities, having researched, developed and published a range of materials focusing on synthetic chemistry, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. I have demonstrated my exceptional skills in this area of chemistry, where I have ensured that all parameters are checked thoroughly, with commitment to deadlines and objectives achieved. I pride myself on my exceptional attention to detail, demonstrating this throughout my work to date. As a Product Development Chemist in Emission Control Technologies I work as part of a highly skilled and dynamic team, developing cutting edge emission control technologies. I perform independent research and collaborative development of state-of-the-art after-treatment systems. Project ownership plays a large part in my role, from concept development through to prototype scale-up.
