ABOUT CHIP FEW
Innovative Product Developer | Technical Lead in Polymer Science & Chemistry | Driving Revenue Growth Through AI-Accelerated InnovationAs a passionate product developer with a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, I thrive on transforming complex market challenges into groundbreaking, value-added solutions. With over a decade of experience in polymer science and materials innovation, I\'ve led global teams to invent, develop, and commercialize new-to-the-world chemistries, generating multi-million dollars in net-new revenue while accelerating the innovation cycle using AI tools.In my current role as Technical Lead for one of Milliken\'s newest product lines, I\'ve spearheaded all phases of product development—from idea generation and invention to successful global launches and commercialization. My expertise spans statistical modeling, design of experiments (DOE), polypropylene and impact copolymers, formulation, vis-breaking, and advanced characterization techniques like rheology, NMR and IR spectroscopy, fractionation, and chromatography. I\'ve collaborated with cross-functional teams across five continents, supporting customer resin grade formulation projects that deliver tangible business impact.Previously, at Braskem America, I spent four years developing high-performance polypropylene products for packaging and nonwovens applications, honing my skills in organic synthesis, polymer synthesis, and plastic processing. My doctoral research at the University of Florida\'s George and Josephine Butler Polymer Research Laboratory, under Ken Wagener, focused on cutting-edge organic and polymer synthesis, laying the foundation for my career in driving technical excellence.
