Omid received his PhD at Oregon State University where he focused on controlling the size and/or shape of nanoparticles. Omid has over 70 ISI publications including 1 publication in Science Magazine. Omid has start-up experience, working with Nano3D Systems as Process Engineer Director after graduation. Omid has years of experience in Nanoparticles synthesis and functionalization, thin film deposition, lithography, and nanopatterning.

Doug Keszler is a world leader in developing solution-based deposition and patterning. He has extensive experience in technology commercialization and contributed to the development of the first transparent oxide thin-film transistors, which are now widely found in high-resolution flat-panel displays. He is the founder of Inpria, the world leader in metal-oxide photoresists for EUV photolithography that got acquired by JSR for $514 M in 2022.

Cory worked for Douglas Keszler at Oregon State University as a Post Doc. He has led experimental work to develop solution precursors for optical coatings, high-performance dielectric films, and TCO thin films. His discoveries have led to 18 peer reviewed publications and the submission of 9 patent applications. Cory has participated in several entrepreneur training programs, including Lens of the Market® (LoM) innovation training program.
