PhD Chemist | Formulation, Material Testing & ASTM/ISO Validation

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Chemist and Materials Scientist with 9+ years of experience in industrial R&D, formulation development, material testing, and technical consulting. My expertise spans coatings, specialty chemicals, polymers, detergents, additives, and industrial material systems, with strong focus on formulation optimization, ASTM/ISO-aligned testing, and material-performance evaluation. I support clients with formulation review, technical troubleshooting, testing interpretation, material characterization, technical documentation, and industrial problem-solving. I have experience working with analytical and characterization techniques including FTIR, SEM/EDX, XRD, UV-Vis, AFM, and related validation methodologies for industrial applications. My work combines scientific analysis with practical implementation-focused solutions to help clients improve product performance, reduce technical risks, and support informed development decisions. I am comfortable supporting both short-term technical assignments and long-term collaborative R&D projects involving formulation science, material validation, testing, and industrial product development.
