About Philippe Papa

Product-driven process engineer motivated to manufacture the physical parts that sustain our technological world.Holding degrees in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, my background covers the gamut of production from High-Volume Manufacturing, to process development, and to raw benchtop chemistry. I currently work in the semiconductor CMP process, but I also have experience at Tesla developing Li+ battery cathode materials. My background also includes material characterization, electrochemistry, and inorganic synthesis at the academic research level.
