Blake Eliasson’s Summary

I have been involved with Metal-Insulator tunneling devices over the last 10 years, beginning with my Ph.D. Thesis and continuing with the resulting spin-off company. I have at various points throughout this time directed all aspects of tunnel-diode creation: conception, tunneling device simulation software development, fabrication, test, data-analysis (software development and interpretation), equivalent circuit modeling, and device improvement.

In addition I am the owner and winemaker at a small commercial winery. I have a graduate certificate in Enology & Viticulture from UC Davis. The entanglement of my engineering and enology worlds results in close monitoring of my traditional winemaking techniques.
