David E.
Reisner, Ph.D., a 1978 University Honors graduate from Wesleyan Univ, did
his doctoral thesis work in the Field and Kinsey groups at MIT in the area
of chemical physics (double resonance laser spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules).
After a postdoctoral fellowship at IBM Research (San Jose) he entered the
battery field in 1985 at Electrochimica Corp (Menlo Park, CA) where he directed
research in both aqueous and lithium rechargeable batteries. He joined Electro
Energy Corp (Danbury, CT) in 1993, where he managed R&D and focused
on corporate development. In 1996, Reisner co-founded US Nanocorp as a vehicle
to develop nanostructured materials technology as it related to the fields
of thermal-sprayed coatings and bulk consolidated materials. Seed technology,
originally developed by Inframat® principals Peter Strutt and Danny
Xiao, was licensed from the former Precision Mfg. Center at the Univ. of
CT (Storrs, CT).
As president & CEO, Reisner has taken the lead role in establishing
intellectual property assets, deal structure with licensors and corporate
partners, as well as assisting in the acquisition of Government contracts,
particulary in the area of magnetic nanocomposites. His chief focus at Inframat®
in the year 2001 is in the commercialization of Inframat's thermal spray
feedstock powder products, especially alumina titania (recent recipient
of an R&D 100 Award) and tungsten carbide cobalt composites. |
