Derek started out as an Intern at Neah Power and is now a production manger. His career has evolved with Neah in large part with the evolution of Neah cells. Derek started out when Neah only could produce small "proof of concept" fuel cells. He has subsequently helped to scale the electrode fabrication processes to larger electrode sizes that have been used in Neah stacks. Derek is now a production manager in large part because of the success of his past efforts. He has tremendous drive, dedication, and has been supportive with all phases of the construction of Neah prototypes from building silicon cells, optimizing catalyst deposition processes, and supporting other rest of plant subsystem efforts.
