I am a technology scout, backed up by a strong technical expertise in private research and development (cosmetics domain). My two major sets of skills are:
1) Identify emerging technologies, channel technology related information and, in a corporate context, support of the acquision of technologies. In other words: Watch (collection, selection, dissemination) + analysis of scientific and market topics.
and
2) Expertise in characterization of illumination conditions in photobiology and photochemistry studies + in methods development, i.e. the objective assessment of cosmetics products proof of performance. Visual appearance assessment, including colorimetry.
