Bio

Christopher Chidsey - Christopher E. D. Chidsey (b. 1957) is Associate Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University. He earned his A.B. from Dartmouth College in 1978, and his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1983.

He has been named Postdoctoral Fellow, University of North Carolina, 1983-84; Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, 1993; and 2007 Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Cyrus Wadia - Cyrus Wadia holds a dual appointment as: Co-Director of Clean Tech to Market at the Haas School of Business and Guest Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). He has spent the last six years at U.C. Berkeley and LBNL in pursuit of new low cost photovoltaic technology using earth abundant metal sulfides. Leveraging his knowledge in both the natural and social sciences, Wadia's research covers both exhaustible resource economics and the aqueous chemistry of nanoparticles. His work has resulted in two provisional patents and four peer reviewed journal articles. Wadia was recently honored for this groundbreaking work in renewable energy as a recipient of the MIT Technology Review Young Innovator award.

Prior to his doctoral studies, Wadia spent over 7 years in Silicon Valley launching new technology to market. First as an engagement manager with R.B. Webber & Co where he worked with over 15 different venture backed startups; and next as a Senior Product Manager with AvantGo, where he completed several successful new product introductions. More recently, Wadia founded a boutique Internet services startup specializing in complex data analysis for which he now serves as Chairman of the Board.

Wadia earned his PhD in Energy & Resources from U.C. Berkeley and holds both an M.S. and S.B. in Chemical Engineering from MIT.
