Alex works on ceramic, glass, and polymer parts and films for use in high technology applications – with a focus on surgical devices. His academic research experience was in the field of semiconductors for ultra thin film photovoltaic devices and cathode materials for solid-state Lithium-ion batteries. In addition to the materials themselves, he. has a strong interest in using statistical tools to understand and improve process control. This is one area where the collection of the “right” data, and its correct analysis, can have a large tangible and quickly observable benefit.
