Pioneer in the decarbonization and electrification of the specialty chemical industry with modular electrochemical and microwave reactors. These technologies are driving the chemical industry transition from fossil fuel heated chemical reactors to grid and renewable energy powered electrosynthesis reactors as well as electromagnetic field based reactors. These next generation chemical reactor systems minimize or eliminate CO2 release, increase reaction product selectivity, and increase profit margins. Founder of Electron Transfer Technologies, Inc. ETT patented and commercialized on-site, modular electrochemical arsine and other hydride gases used in semiconductor fabrication. ETT took market share from traditional, centralized, fossil fuel based chemical manufacturers who had to ship those gases in cylinders. ETT was acquired by Fortune 300 gas manufacturer Air Products and Chemicals Inc As an electrochemical technology expert for more than 25 years, he is experienced in developing, patenting, and commercializing complete electrosynthesis and microwave reactor systems for new or updated products and processes. Open to investments, joint ventures, and consulting PhD Chemical Engineer specializing in electrochemistry, electrochemical engineering, and applied chemical physics for advanced catalysis. Principal Investigator on grants from the Departments of Energy, Defense, and National Science Foundation. Inventor with multiple U.S. and international patents including the IR-100 Award winning on-site electrocatalytic arsine, germane, and stibine (SbH3)gas generators. Also microwave phosphine gas generator, metal hydride and lithium battery charge analysis, electrocatalytic materials, photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical hydrogen production (including the original "Artificial Leaf"), fuel cells, and carbon dioxide to liquid fuels. Organized and edited the first ACS Symposium on "Catalytic Activation of Carbon Dioxide" (still available on Amazon). Specialties: Modular electrochemical reactor systems Microwave chemical reactor systems Climate change technology analysis Radioisotope, high energy, Beta electron power sources (see Krypton-85 Beyond Betavoltaics paper below). New product concepts; R&D, patents, and development through commercialization Business development; marketing and joint ventures Intellectual property portfolio analysis and protection Computer simulation modeling of electrochemical and novel physical processes Electrochemical automation Proposal writing, Principal Investigator, and contract negotiations.less
