Mosaic Materials is working to develop commercially viable CO2 direct air capture systems using metal-organic framework (MOF) materials. My formal task is to lead a team that exercises the technology at 1:1000 scale compared to commercial systems. My side interest is making scalable performance models and simulators to aid full-scale design and operation, estimate cost of capture, and guide subscale testing. My team sits at the intersection of all the teams of the organization and seeks to define the path to commercialization.

Cenergy Solutions works in the space of renewable biogas processing, storage, and transportation. It is environmentally advantageous to utilize methane that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere in place of fossil fuels. At Cenergy, I lead all technology, science, and research and development aspects of the business. I also assist in business strategic decisions by developing and providing information on performance, system costs, and value proposition.

Energy Recovery produces the revolutionary Pressure Exchanger (PX) energy recovery device for reverse osmosis desalination plants. Virtually all RO desal plants use this product because it cuts their expensive pumping capex and opex in half, making pure water much more affordable. As the device does not wear out and rarely fails, the desal PX market size is limited to new plants. At Energy Recovery I primarily worked on developing different applications for the PX, particularly in harsh pumping environments and eco-friendly CO2 refrigeration. In R&D I acted both as a team / project manager and as a technical SME primarily in data analysis, process simulation, controls, and with whatever other special technical needs arose. My team enabled the company to land a $75,000,000 licensing agreement.

I supported the business leaders of consumer and small business banking with quantitative research and marketing campaign analytics. Over a couple different specific roles, I worked on projects ranging from survey fielding and analysis to mining huge data sets. I developed pricing strategies for the Chase Liquid prepaid credit card. I enjoyed the subtleties of distilling complex analyses into useful findings for non-technical management and gained a lot from working alongside PhD math/statistics peers. Sometimes my mechanical engineering training enabled me to have unique and useful insights.

Founded by Thomas Edison, GE’s R&D campus leads advance technology and new product development for the various businesses of the company. I worked on energy technologies including wind, geothermal, nuclear, and oil & gas, utilizing many different numerical and experimental methodologies including CFD, FEM, and process simulation. One highlight was winning a $1.5M grant from RPSEA (an O&G public/private consortium) on which I got to execute as the technical lead.
