I a materials chemical engineer/consultant at a large engineering firm in Atlanta. I am the government compliance manager so I deal with a lot of federal regs and standardized material specs. My background is organic chemistry but I now deal a lot with metallurgy and inorganic systems.
If I end up going down there I will be working as a consultant with several companies dealing with materials, both organic and inorganic, to best determine their feasibility in the currant situation.
