Process problem solving

I have over 35 years experience in organic chemical process research and development both as a bench chemist, as an R&D manager and veteran of many commercial start-ups.

I understand what it takes to develop a viable, robust chemical process that meets EPA or other regulatory requirements.

Most of my experience has been in developing multi-step processes to agricultural chemicals, but I also have considerable experience in developing processes to organic intermediates and fine chemicals.
