Dr. David E. Reisner
David E. Reisner, Ph.D. is President and CEO of Inframat®,
President and CEO of US Nanocorp®, and
head of The Nano Group, Inc.
Dave, a 1978 University Honors graduate from Wesleyan University
earned his
Ph.D. at MIT in 1983 in the field of chemical physics (double resonance
laser spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules in the
Field
and Kinsey
groups).
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. He has over 175
publications, 8 patents, and is editor on the Bionanotechnology section
of the 3rd ed. of
The BioMedical Engineering Handbook (CRC
Press).
In 1996, Dave cofounded both Inframat® and US Nanocorp® as a
vehicle to develop nanostructured materials technology for coatings,
high surface area media and energy storage and conversion devices. Since
founding, Inframat and US Nanocorp have been funded nearly $20 MM in
Government Contract R&D.; The Companies were recognized in Y2002, Y2003,
Y2004, and Y2005 for their fast revenue growth as Deloitte & Touche
Connecticut Technology Fast50 Award recipients.
He is head of The
Nano Group, Inc. a holding company formed in Y2004, owning both
operating companies, as a vehicle for private equity investment. He is
Chairman of US Nanocorp’s commercialization spin off, Battery
Intelligence Incorporated. He is very active on the Board of the
Connecticut Venture Group and is Chairman of the Board of the
Connecticut Technology Council. He is a member of the Connecticut
Academy of Science and Engineering. He was awarded a BEACON Medical
Technology Award in 2004 and a NASA NanoTech Briefs Nano50 Award in
2006. He served a 3-year term as a Technology Pioneer for the
World Economic Forum from 2004–2006. He served on two panels at the WEF
Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in January, 2004.
Dave is editor of
