Work Experience

  • Investor

    2023

    Investing in technology companies that aim to decarbonize industry and enable an economic and sustainable supply of the minerals, materials and new energy solutions required for global growth.

  • Board Observer

    2024

    SiTration slashes the cost, resource intensity, and complexity of recovering critical materials from challenging industrial streams.

  • Graduate Researcher

    2022 - 2023

    Optimized a high-efficiency methane oxidation catalyst for long-duration stability and performance.

2022 - 2022

  • Investor

    2022 - 2022

    Evaluated frontier tech venture deals on scientific and commercial bases. Assessed valuation and performed due diligence efforts. Supported portfolio company in business development efforts.

2022 - 2022

  • Technical Consultant

    2022 - 2022

    Supported clients by curating market maps of packaging and manufacturing solutions. Evaluated and presented circular economy technologies from development- to commercial-stage. Assessed scalability and deployability of technologies with respect to client-specific requirements and parameters.

2021 - 2021

  • Materials Engineer

    2021 - 2021

    Developed a novel formulation of a room-temperature vulcanized silicone adhesive for bonding heat shield tiles, saving upwards of $1M/year in materials costs via enabling in-house manufacturing and testing. Developed design strategy for future formulations in related applications.

2021 - 2021

  • Materials Engineer

    2021 - 2021

    Studied critical-point drying process for an insulating aerogel-based window panel to improve manufacturing efficiency and increase product yield. The thin, transparent panel acts as an energy-saving insulation upgrade to old and new construction, enabling reduced emissions and cost savings in heating/cooling without requiring building renovation.

2020 - 2020

  • Materials Engineer

    2020 - 2020

    Designed optical systems, selected insulation materials, and researched catalyst deactivation for a photocatalytic chemical reactor for producing zero-emissions hydrogen, methanol, and other commodity chemicals. Proposed solutions to increase energy efficiency and reaction throughput while decreasing cost.
