I have a PhD in physical chemist with extensive experience in characterization of materials as technical support for process/product development. My efforts have contributed to the development of new chemicals, polymers and lubricants. I have a solid academic background combined with technological skills that has allowed significant contribution in many areas. As of September 2005 I am an Assistant Professor in Chemistry and Physics, at the Natural Sciences Department, University of Houston-Downtown. My responsibilities include teaching, research and organization of international education.
