R&D Advisory
R&D projects rarely stall from lack of effort. They stall from missing the right expertise at the exact moment it's needed. I bring that expertise directly into your project, whether that's strategy, hands-on problem-solving, or fractional leadership, scaled to what your project actually needs.
R&D Strategy & Program Design
Structuring a new R&D program from the ground up: defining milestones, sequencing the work, and setting a realistic path to the goal, including how AI/ML fits in when it's part of the technical approach. I've done this for 11 years, designing and funding independent research programs and building research infrastructure from scratch in industry.
Scientific & Technical Problem Solving
A close outside read on your science or process before a key decision, or systematic root-cause work when an experiment isn't giving you the answer you need. This comes from NIH training and 20 years evaluating experimental design across biological systems.
Scale-Up & Process Development
Moving from lab-scale results to pilot and production: media formulation, process parameters, and the operational discipline scale-up demands, without the costly trial-and-error most teams pay for the first time around.
Fractional R&D Leadership
When your team needs a scientist to lead: setting milestones, managing budget and vendors, and driving execution across disciplines, including AI/ML-integrated projects where biological ground-truthing matters as much as the model. I've led both an independent research program and cross-functional R&D in industry for 11 years, including directing an AI/ML-powered sensor development project.
