Curtis D.

Curtis Deer, M.S. Inorganic Chemistry, M.S. Applied Engineering and Technology Management. I have spent more than 14 years in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and technology industries as a research, quality control, and process chemist and project manager. Having applied the technical training and background in various roles throughout my career, I've become very familiar with the many processes, dealings, and needs for innovation within the scientific community. With experiences in not only academia, as both student and teacher, but also in various industries, understanding how vital critical thinking and application of the sciences is crucial in expanding and growing what is capable. I enjoy creative problem solving and developing under-resourced products or processes to their fullest potential. To further that end, I've founded a research and development firm to assist the efforts of small and mid-size companies and organizations to progress under resourced projects with market viability into applied R&D and scalable products. I believe the services I offer will not only bring products to market sooner but drive innovation. Specialties and Expertise include: Chemical synthesis, Dissolution techniques, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), Analytical titrations including Karl Fischer (KF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Photoluminescence, Atomic Absorption spectroscopy, Mass Sectroscopy (MS), Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and Chemical Formulation.
