Research output
Scholarly record from OpenAlex, publishing since 2005. Author matched by name; metrics are indicative. ORCID 0000-0002-2253-0964.
Patents
Patent families (EPO OPS) where this person is a named inventor and the assignee is the institution’s research corporation — so the work was managed under the institution. Counted by invention (worldwide filings of one patent count once) and placed by filing year. Inventor-to-faculty matching is indicative. Grant status is cross-verified against Google Patents Public Data (95% agreement with an independent EPO family check); a patent counts as granted once it has issued in any jurisdiction.

Federal grants acquired
Public NIH + NSF awards where this person is the lead/contact PI, FY2019–2025. A defensible lower bound — co-PI, non-federal, and unmatched awards are not counted.
Career history
Prior positions and education from ORCID (self-reported). Academic history is well covered; corporate and founder roles are often omitted, so their absence isn’t evidence they don’t exist.
