Chief Scientist — Chemical Exposure & PPE
Where Precision Meets Execution
I offer fractional scientific and AI leadership in chemical exposure science and PPE, from board-level strategy to the laboratory bench. You get the judgement of a chief scientist, without the commitment of adding one to your payroll.
I'm Dr Luke D. Savory. I set up Atometic to take what I've learned over a career in physical chemistry, industrial PPE R&D, software and AI, and put it to work for teams that need senior scientific input without taking on a full-time hire...

How I Can Help
Whether you manufacture chemical PPE, test it, regulate it, research it, or rely on it to keep people safe, this is where I can help.
Most clients come to me with a problem that's already costing them time, money, or sleep. My job is to get you unstuck, and make sure the fix lasts.
I bring 15+ years experience across physical and analytical chemistry, lab management, industrial materials R&D, hands-on software development, 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's 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.
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.
Data Science & Insights
You get honest answers about where AI and ML could pay off, and where there are bigger issues that need solving first.
Scientific Storytelling & Knowledge Transfer
I help your customers, board, and team grasp why your work matters, in language they can act on and relate to.

Three Ways to Work Together
Just like the technical approach, the commercial model is tailored to what you actually need, not the other way round.
Short, Focused Sprints
A defined exposure or PPE question, a defined output, done in days to a few weeks, then handed back.
Ongoing Fractional Retainer
Standing chemical protection expertise on tap, for teams that need exposure and PPE judgement available on an ongoing basis.
Training & Workshops
Chemical protection training, pitched for the audience in the room, not a generic course.
