Chemistry & Materials Advisory
Fewerfailedbatches.Sharpernextexperiments.
Senior chemistry advisory for R&D teams building bio-based, polymeric and industrial materials.
Trained at MIT · Imperial College London · Aarhus University
From ambiguous data to a confident next step.
A single structured review with a clear deliverable at the end — not an open-ended retainer.
Your data
Formulation records, characterisation results, failure modes — however messy.
Mechanism review
What's actually happening at the molecular level, and why.
Root cause & recommendation
A written root cause and the changes most likely to help.
Next experiment
Prioritised, so fewer batches get wasted getting there.
A spectrum isn't an answer — it's a question waiting for someone who knows how to read it.
The kind of problem we're usually called in for.
Illustrative patterns — not attributed to specific clients.
FTIR and DSC traced it to a migrating plasticiser — a crosslinker swap saved weeks.
TGA revealed a narrower processing window — one scoped adjustment, no reformulation.
NMR isolated an unreacted monomer fraction — the next experiment was a revised cure schedule.
You see the work as it happens.
Every engagement runs in a dedicated portal — one place for the work, instead of scattered across email.
One live board
The status of every workstream, visible at a glance.
Decisions, logged
Every agreement written down, with who approved it.
Files with history
Reports and datasets in one place, versioned.
Senior chemistry judgement, on tap when a project needs it.
Axel Rosenvinge
Founder, Alchemica
I started Alchemica because most R&D teams don't need another lab report — they need someone who can read it and say what to try next. Every engagement ends in a decision you can act on this week.
