Chemical engineering expertise for real plants, products and processes.

I help private clients and companies assess new chemical plants, start chemical product businesses, and solve process, materials and water-treatment problems. My advice draws on an Imperial College London PhD, two decades of research and teaching, and leadership of a university chemical engineering department.
