Techniques Laron Burrows Uses:

-I begin by clarifying the problem
- Break down the problem
- Developing a path to get to a solution
- Listing the details of what I know and don't know
- Determining a path to what I need to know, seeking out resources ( books, internet, consultants etc.)
- Develop a list of possible solutions, and list the pros and cons of each solution
- Then finally I decide on the best solution and give reason to why I chose that solution.

Laron Burrows's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. -I have developed a solution to reduce the alkalinity of biomass fly ash for land application
    - I have researched, experimented and published papers in the field of supercritical fluid extractions using carbon dioxide with ethanol modifiers.
    - I have researched desulfurization plants using alkanolamines and other viable solvents in large industrial plants and implemented $10M changes.
    -I have built and tested arduino powered headsets to measure brainwave frequencies during entertainment for research purposes.
    - I have worked to improve plant efficiencies and reduce waste up to 30% over a quarter, implementing numerous continuous improvement initiatives.
    - I have researched in depth hydrogen fuel cells, as well as worked on a team developing fuel cells for testing at Ford and GM
    - I have researched hydropower and developed a ram pump powered electrical plant, that is now being using in South Africa with similar models being built across the globe.
