NANOTECH ENERGY
Working with a successful CEO, Dr. Jack Kavanaugh, and Prof. Richard Kaner, we started Nanotech Energy in 2014 to revolutionize the energy storage market using graphene discoveries I developed during my graduate research at UCLA.
As the chief technology officer of the company, I am leading a team of scientists and engineers for developing more powerful batteries for the next generation of consumer electronics and electric cars. In addition, we successfully developed and mass-produced powerful supercapacitors, printed electronics, EMI shielding materials, conductive inks, and adhesives. The company has been successful with a capital valuation of USD 550 million and an operational factory in Northern California; products have already reached the market early this year.
To date, the company has raised a total of USD 94.9 million. The company plans to use the money to speed up its international expansion, which includes opening its EU headquarters in Amsterdam, building a new high-volume graphene battery factory in Reno, Nevada, and upgrading its existing graphene production site in Chico, California. Throughout this career, I created innovative solutions that are protected by an extensive global portfolio of 187 patent applications.
