Chamelic’s founder, Simon has been working in the area of colloid and particle science for over 20 years and is currently the director of the BNFL – Leeds Alliance in in Particle Science & Technology. Institute of Particle Science & Engineering, University of Leeds, UK. Prior to his appointment at Leeds, he was head of Chemistry at the University of Newcastle, Australia. His area expertise is in surface chemistry, particularly in the area of particle-surface interactions. Prof Biggs has worked extensively with major multinational companies around the world in the development of new products and processes, which are being successfully marketed. He has built up significant knowledge and intellectual property in these areas and regularly collaborates and consults with companies such P&G, ICI… He is internationally known for his work on surface and particle force interaction and all aspects of the characterisation of surfaces.

Jeff joined Chamelic from the IP Group plc, the intellectual property commercialisation company that specialises in commercialising university technology. Prior to this Jeff was was a Director in the Commercial Transaction Services team at Deloitte, providing commercial due diligence services to both Private Equity and Corporate clients. Before joining Deloitte, he carried out a similar role for KPMG giving him a total of eight years' experience in due diligence for mergers and acquisitions. Jeff also spent eleven years with ICI, most recently as Global Product Manager for a range of synthetic lubricants. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher at MIT before joining ICI. Jeff has an MBA from the Open University where he now has a part-time role as an Associate Lecturer in business strategy. He has a BSc and PhD in chemistry from the University of Durham.

Dr Sasha Heriot - Business Development Manager Sasha has a wide variety of experience in polymer physics and surface science. Prior to her position at Chamelic she worked as a postdoctoral research scientist in the Polymer Physics group at Sheffield University. Her first project was to investigate in-situ phase separation between polymers during the spin coating process and the second project was on responsive polymer brush surfaces. She obtained a PhD in Physics working on nanofabrication and testing of chemical vapour sensors based on responsive gold nanoparticle technology in the Nanomaterial Engineering group at Sheffield. Since September 2007, Sasha is Chamelic’s expert in surface scientist and is responsible for the analysis of functional surfaces, as well as the development of standard testing procedures, the implementation of consumer trials and the primary contact for customers.

Dr Maggy Manguian - Polymer Chemist Maggy has a PhD in Chemistry and Physico-Chemistry of Polymer from the University of Paris VI, France. She joined Chamelic Ltd after a first post-doctoral position for Rhodia working on the development of new oligosaccharide compound for homecare application followed by a post-doctoral position at the University of Pau (France) on the formation of nanostructure obtained by Radical Controlled Polymerization. Her skills are in Polymer synthesis, Controlled radical polymerization, Dispersed aqueous polymerization.

Dr Nelly Chagneux - Polymer Chemist Nelly received her MSc in Chemistry and Chemical engineering in 2005 from the Engineering School of Chemistry, Physics and Electronics of Lyon (CPE Lyon, France). During her study she obtained research experiences at the interface of organic chemistry (6 months placement by Syngenta in Basel - Switzerland) and polymer chemistry (6 months placement by Akzo Nobel in Arnhem - The Netherlands). She also completed an MPhil degree in the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow - Scotland) working during 1 year on the synthesis of block copolymers. Finally before joining Chamelic in February 2009, she worked for Arkema between 2005 and 2009 as a PhD student on the synthesis of block copolymers by combining two controlled polymerization processes (either radical- NMP - or not - ROP) in order to develop new toughening systems of amorphous polymers. She therefore obtained strong skills in polymer synthesis, polymer analyses (chromatography) and polymer mechanical properties through academic and industrial experiments.

Dr Andrew Campbell - Colloid Chemist Andrew has worked on foams and emulsions stabilised by food grade micro-rod particles for the last 4 years, and specialises in the general area of colloid science. He achieved his PhD and degree from the University of Hull, UK. Previously Andrew worked as a trainee formulation chemist at Syngenta Agrochemicals and has held a post in project management at SafePharm (now Harland), a pharmaceutical testing company. Currently Andrew is Colloid Scientist at Chamelic Ltd (since June ’09) where he is working towards the development of a new type of microcapsule formulation which could be applicable to a wide range of industries.
