He has a background in materials science and engineering and a proven track record in problem solving through innovative design.
Reg Freeman, founder and managing director of Freeman Technology, commented: "The close working relationship that we have with our customers is essential in understanding and helping solve their powder processing issues.
"James's problem solving experience and his ability to recognise the limitations of established systems and approaches, then come up with practical solutions, make him an ideal candidate for this new role of applications scientist".
The Freeman FT4 powder rheometer allows customers to characterise and investigate the properties of powders.
New accessories have recently been developed to automate these characterisation procedures and the instrument is being widely used, particularly by pharmaceutical manufacturers.
