Freelance Organic Chemist | Process Optimization Scale-Up Specialist | I turn chemistry into sustainable industrial solu

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Organic Chemist with 7 years of experience in academic and industrial research (CEA, Université Aix-Marseille, UNAM). I specialize in bridging the gap between laboratory-scale synthesis and industrial production, helping companies solve complex challenges in process development, optimization, and scale-up. What I solve for clients: 🔬 Complex multi-step syntheses – I design and execute efficient synthetic routes for pharmaceutical intermediates, fine chemicals, and advanced materials. ⚙️ Process inefficiencies – I optimize reaction conditions to improve yields (+30%), reduce production costs (–35%), and minimize environmental impact (–85% solvents) through green chemistry principles. 🏭 Scale-up challenges – I support technology transfer from lab to kilolab and pilot scale, ensuring robust, reproducible processes ready for industrial implementation. 📊 Analytical method development – I develop and validate analytical methods (HPLC, GC, NMR, MS) for quality control and structural characterization. 👥 Project leadership – I have coordinated multidisciplinary teams of up to 30 researchers, managed timelines, and delivered high-quality results. Previous research highlights: Designed novel ligands for ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (77% overall yield) Developed sustainable synthetic routes reducing solvent use by 85% Published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences Sectors I serve: Pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, biotech, cosmetics, and green chemistry. Languages: English (C1), French (C1), Spanish (native) 📍 Based in Marseille, available for consulting projects worldwide.
