Princeton,
NJ -
TRI/Princeton, an international leader in hair and cosmetic
chemistry research, is proud to announce that Roger McMullen
of International Specialty Products, New Jersey , has won
the Best Paper Award from TRI's Third International Conference
on Applied Hair Science. The $3,000 prize, provided by Wella
GmbH, was given to Dr. McMullen for his presentation on "Measurements
of Hair Volume by Laser Stereometry." The paper explored
a technique to measure hair volume via 3-dimensional laser
stereometry and demonstrated how mechanical properties of
the hair fiber assembly influence the volume.
 Winner:
Roger L. McMullen (pictured left) received a B.S. in
chemistry from Saint Vincent College (Latrobe, Pennsylvania)
in 1996 and a Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from Seton Hall
University (South Orange, New Jersey) in 2005. He is currently
a Research Scientist in Corporate Research and Development
at International Specialty Products, located in New Jersey,
where he has worked for the last twelve years in the field
of personal care. Before pursuing a career in the sciences,
Roger served four years in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS YORKTOWN
(CG 48).
Conference:
The Conference, which was attended by 175 participants,
was a phenomenal success and provided key members of the cosmetic,
raw ingredient, and hair care product industries with the
unique opportunity to learn about new techniques, methods,
and tests from their peers. The proceedings of the Conference
will be published in 2009 in the Journal of Cosmetic Science.
TRI's
4th International Conference on Applied Hair Science will
be held in 2010; dates, location, and abstract submission
information will be released during the summer of 2009. However,
