I am Nexceris’ Vice President of New Product Launch, and responsible for supervising new product launch activities (www.nexeris.com). I am drawn to challenging materials problems and have a lot of experience developing materials solutions for commercial and federally-funded partners. I'm particularly motivated by bringing improved technologies to long-standing problems in the energy and environmental space. I have worked on a range of issues from catalyst materials design and synthesis, solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer production, and processing of sensor and batteries platforms. I joined Nexceris in 1998, after completing my Ph.D. in Materials Science at The Pennsylvania State University. I also hold a B.S. in Ceramic Engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Most recently, I was part of the team that invented Nexceris' HeatPath catalyst support. I'm fortunate to lead our product and business development efforts in this space(www.heatpathsolutions.com). We are excited to develop new chemical reactors for the chemicals and fuels industry that will lead to a low-carbon future.
