Atometic - Where Precision Meets Execution

Where Precision Meets Execution

A physical chemistry and data science consultancy hellbent on the simple idea of being useful.

I offer fractional scientific leadership, from board-level strategy to the bench, enabling you to get the judgement of a chief scientist without adding one to your payroll. .

How I Can Help

Most clients come to me with a problem that is already costing them time, money, or sleep: a lab that will not pass audit, a product failing in the field, a project stuck between research and development, or data nobody is learning from. My job is to get you unstuck, and to make sure the fix lasts.

I bring 15+ years across physical and analytical chemistry, lab management, and industrial materials R&D, plus recent years in software and data science, all on a fractional basis. Engage me at the level you need: advising your board or C-suite, setting direction as a principal scientist, or getting into the detail of the research and the lab. It is the same person at every level, so nothing is lost between strategy and execution.

Solving the technical problem is half the job; explaining it clearly enough that your team can act on it after I leave is the other half.

R&D & Quality Support

Whether a project is stuck between research and development or a product keeps failing, you get the cause found, fixed, and explained, not just managed.

R&D projects carried from promising idea to product

Find out why batches fail and stop it recurring

A clear technical direction your team can commit to

Lab Management & ISO/IEC 17025

What you get: a lab that runs reliably, passes its audits, and produces results you can defend to any customer or assessor.

A lab that runs smoothly without daily firefighting

Walk into your ISO/IEC 17025 audit ready to pass

Validated methods so you can trust every result

Data Science & Insights

Find out what your data is really worth before you spend on it. You get honest answers about where AI and ML will pay off, and where they will not.

Know if AI/ML will pay off before you commit budget

An honest verdict on whether your data is ready for AI/ML

Fewer experiments to reach a decision you can trust

Scientific Storytelling & Knowledge Transfer

Great science that nobody understands wins nothing. I help your customers, board, and team grasp why your work matters, in language they can act on.

Marketing that wins trust because the science holds up

Reports your board can act on without a chemistry degree

Knowledge that stays with your team after I leave

Got a problem that gets more expensive the longer it stays unsolved?

Areas of Notable Expertise

Chemistry and materials science run on the same fundamentals no matter which specific industry domain they are being used in, so a problem in an unfamiliar product is rarely an unfamiliar problem. Every engagement gets the same first-principles rigour. These two fields are where that rigour is backed more clearly by years of experience.

Industry Proven

Chemical PPE

Materials Science and Testing

Permeation test results you can certify and defend

Your team fluent in chemical PPE standards and theory

Material failures explained and stopped from recurring

New materials to market with fewer testing surprises

Industry Proven

Physical Chemistry

Surfactants & Colloids

Surfactant formulations that behave as intended

Colloidal systems that stay stable in the real world

Surface and interfacial behaviour you can control

Adsorption modelled and predicted before you formulate

Your problem doesn't fit either box? Most don't. First principles transfer, and that's the point. Drop me a line and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.
