About

It all started when…

I'm wrapping up a magnetic sensor algorithm and IP development project for Melzi Surgical, which just registered their first product with the FDA.

I was a NSF graduate fellowship award winner and got my Masters and Ph.D. from Stanford.

At Stanford I had the privilege to work on a multidisciplinary project building parallel atomic force microscope technology with Cal Quate ( co-inventor of the Atomic Force Microscope ) in the Ginzton applied physics lab building and the Stanford nanofabrication facility.

When I graduated I helped found the Nevada Ventures Nanoscience Program at the University of Nevada, and, as an assistant professor, won a Scientific American 50 award and was published in Nature.

I also helped spin out two companies and won an NSF grant to develop nanotechnology educational material which led to an award winning text book in nanotechnology.

Here's a story on one of these companies, NevadaNano, which also won a R&D100 award.

The other company, Nanolabz, was acquired by HIL Applied Medical.

This experience has provided me the additional privilege of visiting or working with some of the most exciting labs in the world from LLNL, to LANL, to the Texas Petawatt, LULI, HZDR, and ORNL.
