Douglas J. Falcon 2222 Big Blue Raceway Mute City, NY 10010 347-888-8888 | [email protected] EDUCATION Semi Target University Boston, MA Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with ACS Certification May 2014  GPA: 2.70 / 4.0; SAT: 1950  Honors: UROP Student Research Award, UROP Faculty Matching Grant  Graduate Coursework: (CH644) Medicinal Chemistry, (CH741) NMR Spectroscopy, (CH641) Organic Reaction Mechanisms, (CH631) Inorganic Coordination Chemistry, (CH643) Synthetic Methods of Organic Chemistry. WORK & LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE Cabot Corporation Billerica, MA Research Associate, Performance Research and Development June 2014 – October 2015  Applied Synthetic Organic Chemistry towards Carbon Black (CB) surface modification for tire rolling resistance and tread-wear in rubber tires.  Selected Project Experience: o Amino Triazole Disulfide(ATT2) Carbon Black Treating Agents  Improved a 3-step one-pot synthesis of novel small molecule treating agent from 36% to 85%, contributing to a cost effective treatment of CB for rolling resistance and tread wear tire applications. o Kinetic Study of CB Treatment Efficiency  Analyzed reaction rates, structural differences in CB treating agents and concluded that key factors affecting treatment efficiency included radical stability, which made project viable; resulted in company proceeding with project. o Novel, Non-ATT2 CB Treating Agents  Adapted academic literature papers to develop scalable procedures towards development of next generation CB treating agents. Noname Chemical Company Newark, NJ Synthetic Organic Chemist, Research and Development December 2015 – March 2016  Led team’s efforts to develop cost effective recrystallization methods of precursors to improve yield on naturally derived precursors.  Prepared naturally derived precursors on the pilot scale and analyzed quality using GC/MS. Oak Research Group Boston, MA Undergraduate Research Assistant September 2012 – May 2014  Applied Organic synthesis to explore chemical biology of a PrPSc proliferation inhibitor.  Developed syntheses of targets and analogs of PrPSc proliferation inhibitor by BUMC Collaborators.  Regularly presented research progress, relevant literature, and organic chemistry problems.
