Chemistry Alumni in Action
Mike Peruzzi '13
What is your current position and what do you find exciting about it?
I am currently a Staff Scientist with expertise in mass spectrometry and chromatography at Ashland. The most exciting aspect of my position is working on project teams to solve analytical challenges while taking a product from conceptualization to commercialization. I also enjoy the variety of the work - because we work with the specialty additives, personal care, and pharmaceutical markets, there is always something new to learn.
How did your GVSU CHM/BIC degree help prepare you for your work?
My GVSU chemistry degree laid an excellent foundation for my graduate work and current role. I was well prepared from a coursework, research, and scientific communication standpoint - all of which are critical components to being a successful scientist in the chemical industry.
