| Adam C. Powell, IV, CTO and Co-founder |
| Adam C. Powell, IV is CTO and Co-Founder of Metal Oxygen Separation Technologies, Inc. (MOxST, pronounced "most"). Powell's technical background is in materials science with a focus on process technology, including applications in electrochemistry, metal processing, polymer membranes, mechanical behavior of materials, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, physical vapor deposition, computer modeling, and high-performance computing. He holds dual S.B. degrees in Economics and Materials Science and Engineering from MIT and a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering also from MIT. His engineering work in industry, government and academia has led to breakthroughs from mathematical modeling of phase transformations with fluid-structure interactions to titanium alloy composition control in an electron beam melting pilot plant. His more than fifty technical publications, half of which are in refereed journals, cover the topics above as well as tribology, engineering pedagogy, materials informatics, and collaborative development of public knowledge resources. He is the author of nine open source computer programs for R&D and education, and is a Debian GNU/Linux Maintainer overseeing development a suite of high-performance scientific software packages. |
