Jacob hails largely from
Texas and Kansas, with (some long) stopovers in North Carolina,
Illinois, Oregon and, very briefly, Paraguay. Zoe, "The Dog," has
followed him through several of those moves starting at UNC.
Jacob received his B.S. Chemistry degree from
the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Recommended by Dr. Cindy
Larive, he attended graduate school at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where his Research Advisor was
Dr. Mark
Wightman.
Jacob had a number of projects at UNC. He specialized in making electrogenerated chemiluminescence
measurements with ultramicroelectrodes at high efficiency and high
speed. His experience with microelectrodes was of interest to
Gamry -- that's where the instrument meets the sample!

Jacob also worked on electrochemical simulation software and developed a
nice application that has proven useful for training purposes at Gamry.
He's our go-to guy for our DigiElch
Electrochemical Simulation Software.
After UNC,
Jacob spent 1 1/2 years at a postdoctoral appointment with Dr. Chad Mirkin
at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL working on electrodeposition,
sensors, and nanomaterials.
Jacob joined Gamry in 2008.
Jacob is a fan of college basketball and, despite our warnings of
doom and destruction, he's thinking about buying a motorcycle.
He's also not a bad cook and has a taste for fine wine.
His latest trip to South Africa has made him a (very) amateur
shark cage diver.
After shouldering his share of the US economic burden by
purchasing a home in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, he now gets to engage in
ritual homeowner complaining. "The Dog" is content.
