I have been attending conferences, short courses and workshops for close to 30 years. Handsdown—this is one of the more beneficial classes I have taken.
Michael Farnish, Senior Research Chemist, PPG Industries, Participant – 2015 @ Atlanta, GA, USA
As a newcomer to the Polymer R&D field, these 3-days were really interesting to me. Even if I knew most of the techniques presented, the instructors opened my eyes to the amount of information buried in the results. Really enjoyed the case-histories because I could apply these learnings back to several of the issues faced at work.
Dr. Maryam Momtaz, Product Development Scientist, Solvay Specialty Polymers, Participant – 2015 @ Atlanta, GA, USA
This class, my second time since 2004, was so valuable for me. I learned a lot during the entire time and can’t wait to apply most of it in our laboratory. I will definitely recommend & encourage my boss and colleagues to attend. The class was very easy to understand and direct to the point. Case studies were wonderful. Thanks very much; I enjoyed every minute of it.
Elizalde Exconde, Research Scientist, Masonite Corp, Participant – 2015 @ Atlanta, GA, USA
Many of the examples involving customer problems & corresponding solutions held some familiarity to my own experiences. I learned the values of many methods of Thermal Analysis. This was the very purpose I attended the course & the experience was well worth the investment of Time & Expense.
Victor McKown, Materials Manager, Brentwood Industries, Course Attendee-2014 @ Atlanta, GA, USA
Great Instructor, well organized course with good balance of academic / theoretical and real-world case-histories…very practical course
Zack Curry, Quality Manager, Modern Dispersions, Course Attendee – 2014 @ Atlanta, GA, USA
Exposure to multiple Case-Studies helped exemplify the practical applications & the power of analytical techniques, especially the Thermal & Rheological techniques
Mark Colton, Product Development Manager, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, Course Attendee – 2013 @ Cleveland, OH, USA
This course offered a great combination of principles and Case-Studies on analytical techniques as applied to industrial problem solving. As a relatively newcomer to the polymer industry, I never felt overwhelmed with the information presented. The course gave me a better understanding of the tools available to solve application issues with my customers.
Jeffrey Chen, Product Manager-LifeScience Polymers, Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Course Attendee – 2013 @ Cleveland, OH, USA
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a very informative course in New Delhi. I am a Chemical Engineer heading two Polymer Synthesis laboratories and the Dept at Gharda. During the two days, I learned how so much information can be pulled from DSC and Rheological studies as well as the many “Tricks of the Trade”
Dr. Mathew Abraham, Senior Manager, R&D, Gharda Chemicals Ltd., Course Attendee – 2011 @ New Delhi, INDIA
Totally, it is a very good classroom training for problem solving, especially for technologists in Thermal & Rheology area, even for product developers. Your great experience in practical operations and issue resolution are really useful. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Qiang Wang, Research Scientist, GE-Global Research Center, Course Attendee – 2011 @ Shanghai, CHINA
I very much enjoyed your topic “How to Identify Opportunities in Thermal-Rheology Analytical Data”. I also appreciated the “Real World” examples and the analytical perspective of the problem solving strategies.
