I have 30 years of experience, and specialize in the field of coal chemistry with specific knowledge in the areas of quality control of measurements, clean coal technology and laboratory analysis procedures. I have published on such topics as impact of coal quality on power plant performance, coal inventory audits and online nuclear coal analysis. Since becoming an independent consultant, my income is dependent on making my expertise known to different clients, yet I find myself doing better quality work when I am self-motivated and interested in advancing the truth and not just serving a single master.
