Techno-economic analyst, assessing project viability and competitiveness

Profile Summary

I combine analytical and research skills (PhD in industrial chemistry, 2y work in academia and 13y in corporate R&D) with business skills (MBA, 5y work in corporate technology management) to assess business and technology ideas regarding their viability and competitiveness to existing processes. I provide industry overviews or detailed research on particular projects or ideas over a wider range of fields. Past examples include reports on disposable drinking cups, hog manure management, vertical-axis wind turbines, and market research on plastic recycling. Other past project support includes the analysis of supplied samples and compound identification through my affiliations with university laboratories and network of colleagues. I have (co-)authored 14 publications in peer-reviewed journals and edited 200 manuscripts for journal publication. Don't hesitate to contact me with your problems! We will define the scope and identify the relevant factors to find a solution.
