David Yarusso, Yarusso Consulting, LLC

David Yarusso received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1983 where his research focused on structure-property relationships of polymers. He joined 3M the same year and worked in several divisions and staff laboratories during his career, developing an expertise in the understanding of pressure sensitive adhesives. He finished his career as a corporate scientist and is recently retired and has started a consulting and teaching company. He has published several papers during his career including one on modeling the relationship between rheological properties and peel performance of pressure sensitive adhesives.
