I went to a traditional Pulp and Paper school SUNY ESF Syracuse where I got my Bachelors in Chemistry a long time ago. I later finished my Ph.D. there as well.
I am a Research Scientist for a big chemical supplier developing new products, mostly for the pulp mill. I also investigate interesting developments around specialty cellulose and biorefinery ideas.
I participate in the TAPPI technical committee for Alkaline Pulping and Bleaching where I am the Chair.
