Profile Summary

I am a materials chemist with a record of successful project management, early-stage fundraising, a strong publication record and deep knowledge in porous crystalline materials, primarily metal-organic frameworks. I have published papers in high impact journals such as Science, Energy & Environmental Science, and Advanced Materials. My work at UCLA played a major role in the creation of a $20M Dept. of Energy "EFRC" research center at UC Berkeley. In three years with Matrix Sensors, Inc. our team has raised over $2M in government, venture, and strategic funding for our platform MEMS gas sensing technology. We have successfully demonstrated a POC prototype and are developing a full product prototype.
