`Professional Responsibilities
`1. ADM: Oversight of performance testing and commercialization of new glycerol to PG catalyst.
`Successfully scale-up and commercial production of custom catalyst for plant start-up and
`continued operation. Project leader for implementation of high-throughput catalyst synthesis and
`screening equipment. Formulation and screening of catalysts for Integrated Bio-Refinery project
`lead to successful production of acrylic acid from corns stover. Managed ADM research contracts
`with: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL); Energy & Environmental Research Center
`(EERC) at University of North Dakota; University of Kansas Center for Environmentally
`Beneficial Catalysis (CEBC), including FDCA production from HMF; and Avantium BV
`(Amsterdam). Leveraged partners’ access to catalyst synthesis and screening expertise to develop
`early-stage projects to a point where ADM’s expertise in process implementation could be
`employed.
`2. Nepera/Rutherford Chemicals/Vertellus: Manufacturing technical support, and new catalyst and
`process development for pyridine and derivatives manufacture. Primarily responsible for
`ammoxidation process to produce cyanopyridine, including catalyst and process improvements.
`Scaled up 3 batch catalytic hydrogenation processes for new molecules for fine chemicals market.
`Implemented new process analytical scheme for oxidation process, resulting in reduction of
`operating costs. Developed continuous niacinamide production reactor at lab scale, basis of design
`of new plant built in 2003.
`3. Texaco: Synthesized and tested catalysts for olefin isomerization, alkylation, fuel ether production,
`and other refinery processes.
