Organic/Computational Chemist
Ernie has 17 years of experience as an Industrial Research Chemist with a major petrochemical company,
combining organic synthesis skills with computational methods. He has
years experience as a Computational
Chemist, including
years as an independent consultant, providing expertise, training, and contract research in Computational Chemistry Applications. He has extensive experience with:
- Molecular Mechanics
- Semiempirical
- ab initio Hartree-Fock
- Density Functional
- Combined MOMO
methods, and with specialized Catalyst/Sorbent and Polymer modeling software. He has successfully applied these methods
to:
- Catalyst Design
- Process Simulation
- Quality Control
- Process Instrumentation
- Process Troubleshooting
projects; and to solving problems in the areas of:
- Separations
- Product Selectivity
- Byproduct Control
- Process Optimization
- Biodegradation
- Thermal Stability
- Corrosive Wear
His expertise includes:
- Small Molecule
- Polymer
- Solids
- Solvation
- Reactive Intermediate
- Transition State
- Heterogeneous Catalyst
- Homogeneous Transition Metal Catalyst
modeling, and calculation of:
- Thermodynamic Parameters
- Kinetic Parameters
- Bond Dissociation Energies
- Thermal Decomposition Temperatures
- UV Spectra
- Fluorescence Wavelengths
- IR Spectra
Ernie's recent research has included the development of a theoretical, MOMO method to calculate absolute bond dissociation enthalpies, with sufficient accuracy to predict pure thermal decomposition temperatures of polymers over several orders of magnitude variation in time scale.
