Lafe Spietz's Problem Solving Experience:
- -Helped to build a business plan for a now-funded quantum computing startup company
- -have successfully crowd funded two projects on Indiegogo, one for $67k and one for about $10k
- -Developed a system for fabricating stepper motors out of trash in a modular and systematic way for zero cost manufacturing of robotics
- -Based on my independent inventions which I also took from the concept stage to deployment in the consumer electronics field(ask for details) I built a company that employed up to 10 people and manufactured and shipped about a thousand units per month
- -In my work at NIST I took a new type of low noise superconducting microwave amplifier also from the concept stage to deployment as a technology used in other labs around the world
- -In my award-winning(Becton prize, Keithley Award) Ph.D dissertation work at Yale I took a new type of ultra low temperature precision thermometer from a concept on a white board to a fully deployed technology.
- -Consulted with various large companies on quantum computation, helping with quantum amplifier design, testing and deployment
