Dr. Randolph Treece develops the materials imbedded in the “chip & solder” technology that advances the computer hardware to perform better, faster, and cheaper. All of the virtual apps that run on the actual real-world hardware of computers, phones, and games require advanced materials to undergo continual improvement, and mandates that those materials be grown and deposited precisely. Dr. Treece has spent his career developing technologies and businesses to be able to identify the chemistry, grow or synthesize the compounds, and deposit the material to the exacting standards that is required to manufacture the hardware for the next generation of applications.

Dr. Treece has also proven an ability to support that development with public and private funding. He has coordinated business development and proposal activities, and has demonstrated an ability to generate business with government and commercial customers, having been awarded millions of dollars worth of government funding. He has been the principal investigator on more than 15 winning proposals and helped write dozens of other proposals with different principal investigators. He has submitted successful proposals with three different companies spanning a broad range of technologies to several different governmental agencies, as well as commercial enterprises.
