Chemist (PhD) | Process Optimization & Digitalization For Chemistry, Pharma & Biotech)

Profile Summary

I am a PhD chemist specializing in process optimization, Design of Experiments (DoE), and digitalization for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. With a background in organic synthesis and several years of academic experience, I now focus on helping SMEs move from trial-and-error experimentation to data-driven process development. I design and analyze DoE studies for reaction optimization, scale-up, and robustness evaluation—saving time, reducing costs, and generating documentation that meets GMP and audit requirements. My expertise includes: - **Process Optimization & DoE**: Screening → optimization → robustness (JMP, Minitab, Python) - **Flow & Batch Chemistry**: Feasibility studies, parameter optimization, scale-up risk assessments - **Digitalization & SaaS**: Translating lab workflows into digital tools and lightweight SaaS solutions - **GMP-Aware Documentation**: SOPs, templates, and structured handover packages Deliverables typically include DoE designs, statistical analysis reports, risk assessments, and implementation roadmaps. I can also support technical documentation, literature reviews, and training materials. I work with SMEs seeking pragmatic, results-oriented solutions that accelerate development and improve data quality. I offer both fixed-price packages (e.g., DoE QuickStart) and hourly consulting for longer projects. Let’s discuss how we can make your R&D workflows more efficient, data-driven, and ready for digital transformation.
