Co-Founder of Embr Labs, a Boston-based technology startup with patented wearable technology that goes beyond sensing. Our wearable thermal technology provides thermal haptic experiences (heating and cooling) at the touch of a button and is already helping tens of thousands of people live better lives through personal temperature control. We are a science-driven team of interdisciplinary, collaborative, and compassionate people on a mission to harness the body’s natural response to temperature to enhance health and human wellbeing. We are backed by DigiTx Partners, Safar Partners, Bose Ventures and Intel Capital, and we have partnered with companies like Johnson & Johnson and Walgreens-Boots Alliance. Thetechnology has won numerous awards including Time Magazine’s Best Inventions, Men’s Health SleepAwards and the prestigious AARP Innovation in Aging Award.

Focused on developing a characterization platform for evaluating the thermal maturity of source rocks using Raman spectroscopy-based techniques.

Characterized the structure and optoelectronic properties of silicon supersaturated with novel impurities as potential materials for high-efficiency impurity-band photovoltaics.

Using advanced electron microscopy techniques to study the structure-property relationship of novel semiconductor materials with renewable energy applications. Studying dopant segregation in femtosecond laser-doped silicon for use in photovoltaics and compound semiconductor nanowires with thermoelectric applications.

Promoted collaborations and partnerships between collegiate energy clubs in New England. Our objective is to promote intercollegiate collaboration and the realization of a unified collegiate energy community to confront global energy challenges.

Fireside Advisors was a national network of leading scientists and engineers that provides expert insight into emerging energy technologies. We served as a centralized source of reliable, unbiased and confidential scientific and technical expertise for investors and other decision-makers who sought to understand, contextualize, or evaluate emerging energy technologies.

• Developed a business plan around providing premium energy efficiency services to residential households that was selected as a semifinalist in the deployment category of the 2011 Clean Energy Prize• Designed a 2-day installation package of energy-efficient technologies that would potentially save a large residential household 20% of their energy usage
