I am available for consulting on a variety of topics. Topics I can help on include but are not limited to:

~~Solar Cell Technology~~ (not presently available for this due to exclusivity requirements from being Director of R&D at Solasta)
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology, particularly mico/MEMs SOFC technology)
SOFC electrochemistry
thin film process development (advisory as well as hands-on)
deposition system design such as sputtering (HV & UHV), e-beam & thermal evaporation (HV & UHV), molecular beam epitaxy (UHV), laser CVD
laser microchemical etch (design & hands-on)
electronic circuit design projects
software projects
cryogenic & cryoelectronic projects
superconductivity projects (low & high Tc)
