Mineral Bioavailability, Calcium Metabolism, and Bone Health
Expert’s laboratory studies calcium metabolism during life stages of high demand, i.e., building peak bone mass during adolescence and bone loss in postmenopausal women. Calcium needs in adolescence is investigated with metabolic research camps (Camp Calcium). Dietary alternatives to estrogen…
Process Engineering, Inorganic Chemicals: Chloralkali, Sulfuric Acid, SO2, and Fertilizers
Expert’s graduate work (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) was in adsorption of gases in molecular sieve zeolites. The work included exhaustive experimentation on equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption and included calculation of adsorption energy from electrostatic and van der Waals forces acting…
Genomics
Expert worked with a team that cloned and expressed the enzyme T4 endonuclease VII for commercial distribution. He developed the basic assay of enzyme activity that was used in optimization and quality control of the enzyme. He is an author…
Controlled Release, Microencapsulation, Drug delivery, Taste Masking, Bioavailability Enhancement
Expert has almost twenty years of experience in the formulation of pharmaceuticals for controlled release delivery. This work includes drug bioavailability enhancement, tastemasking, enteric protection, tableting, colonic delivery, prevention of ingredient interaction, nasal delivery, and buccal delivery. He has employed…
Absorbent Technology
Expert K. Expert has spent over 25 years with Johnson & Johnson Co. developing new materials for absorbent products. He also managed a diversified group in one of the divisions of Johnson & Johnson responsible for R&D and pilot plant…
Maillard Reaction; Flavor Analysis
MAILLARD REACTION; NON-ENZYMATIC BROWNING; REACTION FLAVOR. Expert has studied the interaction of amino acids or proteins with reducing sugars which results in a prominent chemical reaction that occurs during thermal processing of foods. This reaction, known as Maillard or browning…
Fine Particle Processing, Dispersion Engineering, Acoustic Separation Methods
Expert has developed several methods that use acoustic fields to trap, agglomerate, and collect suspended solids or droplets from stationary or moving liquids. These separation methods are fast, continuous, controllable, and energy efficient. Expert has done extensive research in the…
Materials Processing and Manufacturing
Recent work in Expert's group has shown that high velocity sheet metal forming can dramatically improve material formability (the amount of stretch available without tearing) and wrinkling can be greatly suppressed. Electromagnetic forming is a very convenient way of flexibly…
Mathematics, Modeling, & Thermodynamics
Expert R. Expert has written commercial software using Microsoft Visual Basic that incorporates .DLL's compiled in other languages. This software incorporates sophisticated user interfaces as well as computational and database capabilities. Expert has extensive experience in the efficient implementation of…
Bionewable Conversion Processes, Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis, Adsorbents
The catalyst synthesis technology developed by expert and his associates is directly applied to the catalysis of petroleum and chemical reactions. Therefore, the insight that he has in the catalyst technology allows him to solve many problems relating to the…
