About Wei Lu

As a self-motivated, creative, efficient and deadline-driven chemist, I love to integrate the various facets of chemistry with real life situations to provide solutions for customers. My broader knowledge on new product development from concept initiation to commercialization, empowers me to identify and implement the best practices towards safety, efficiency, quality, cost and environmental impact etc. During 9 +years of new product development, I have gained diversified technology development experience involving polymer science, formulation, application development, instrumentation, material characterization and product testing.
