Dr. Salloux has over 10 years experience in the electrochemistry of aqueous and nonaqueous systems with a strong background in surface characterization of both organic and inorganic materials. In 2002, he left Genefluidics, where he was one of three founders. Genefluidics is a biotechnology start-up doing point-of-care, Lab-On-A-Chip, rapid diagnostics using electrochemical based DNA detection. Genefluidics has completed their Series A funding. Previously, he worked at Hughes Space and Communication/Boeing Satellite Systems and helped manage a R&D budget for the lithium-ion battery program for support and development of batteries for Geosynchronous and Low Earth Orbit satellites. His work in the fields of materials science, chemistry and manufacturing engineering has brought a multifunctional understanding of these areas to the world of electrochemistry. Dr. Salloux received his doctorate in Materials Science from The University of California, Los Angeles. He has worked on a number of battery chemistries including Lithium-Ion, Ni-Metal-Hydride, Lead Acid and Nickel-Hydrogen. Dr. Salloux holds a B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering from Boston University. |
