● Led the professionalism of the laboratory from an award based system to a facility employing chemists.
● Developed a centre of excellence within Caltex and Chevron for Chemometric.● Incorporated customer focus into the laboratory.● Implemented a new Laboratory Management System (LIMS).● Was seconded to Japan to implement a Laboratory Management System (LIMS)
and a Process Historian (OSI-Pi). Period: 1993-1997 Company: Caltex/ Ampol Refinery Position Title Research Chemist Key Tasks/Achievements:
● Developed an agricultural spray oil with a point of difference such that it is market
leader. I was principally involved in invention of world patented (in my name) product incorporating sunscreens to negate photo-degradation and subsequent phytotoxicity (Published).
● Developed Bioassay techniques (Published).● Developed Chemometric predictions of difficult to determine oil chemistry
(Published).● Marketed the products with farmers, re-sellers and the scientific community (ie
follow through the technology with effective implementation). This involved two (2) extended stays in S.E. China. The product has expanded since then to be a world leader.
