Experience
COO CTO
Jan 2020 — Present · Alameda, CA, US
Sylvatex is a small business dedicated to commercializing sustainable chemistry solutions that massively reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, Sylvatex has successfully developed a low-cost, low-carbon, high-impact, and easy-to-implement cathode synthesis process. In this process, we have learned how to manage metal solubility and enable co-precipitation of lithium with the transition metals to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of cathodes, lower energy requirements, and enhance performance relative to industry standards.
