Please describe any patents you hold on inventions or processes and where those are held and when you got the patent.

We stay away from patents and choose to implement trade secrets. Much of the solar industry has followed this path historically and the very best module manufacturers to do this day.

How did Evergreen prepare you for your professional life?

My ability to continually learn, my sense of drive, and my self directed skills where developed, encourage, and honed at Evergreen. I was able to get my hands on scientific equipment and computer interfacing right away and I began to experiment without worry of failure. The ability to work collaboratively with other schools expanded my knowledge base and lead to my continued graduate education and eventually to my career path.
