Since 2007, I have worked for the Dow Chemical Corporation in three specific areas: HPLC, GPC, and IC - including combustion IC. This work has included both FDA and EPA regulated projects.
During these eight years, I have published 28 Dow internal research reports, developed five analytical methods for verifying product quality, developed two analytical methods for monitoring plant operations, and published 139 Dow analytical reports.
In 2014-2015 my research:
Increased the production of a polyethylene glycol product which will generate $100MM in margin over the next five years.
Obtained Canadian DSL Registration for a poly-alkylene glycol to increase sales from 1MM to 4MM pounds per year.
Produced a new analytical method to allow increased production of a performance monomer and generate an NPV of $9MM.
None of these successes would have been possible without the diverse group of colleagues with whom I have had the pleasure of collaborating. These team efforts have generated millions in EBIT for Dow and have given rise to additional research that will continue to increase Dow's value as one of the largest chemical corporations in the world.

In 2014-2015 my research so far has:
Increased the production of a polyethylene glycol product which will generate $100MM in margin over the next five years.
Obtained Canadian DSL Registration for a poly-alkylene glycol to increase sales from 1MM to 4MM pounds per year.
Produced a new GPC analytical method to allow increased production of a performance monomer and generate an NPV of $9MM.
Produced two additional performance monomer analytical methods.(HPLC) for quality control; one of which has been leveraged globally and the other could allow for increased production of a high profit margin product.
