We are very excited to announce the addition of two new patent agents, Troy Anderson and Kazuya Toyama.

Troy holds a Ph.D. and a M.S. in Optics from CREOL, the College of Optics at the University of Central Florida, as well as a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.  Through graduate and post-graduate pursuits, he has developed a broad technical background in laser optics, geometric optics, spectroscopy, optical sensors, femtosecond laser systems, laser machining, materials science, surface science, electrochemistry, nanotechnology, image processing, electrical engineering, and metrology.  Troy has also co-authored over 15 peer-reviewed journal publications and numerous technical conference presentations related to his research on tailoring material properties using femtosecond laser pulses.

Troy is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Kazuya (Kaz) obtained his B.S. in Chemistry from St. Francis College. While attending St. Francis, he researched tangential purification methods for Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) as a visiting researcher at Princeton University. Kaz obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. His research focused on the development of new asymmetric catalysts and total synthesis of natural products.  He gained hands on experience on a broad range of analytical instruments.

Prior to attending the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, Kaz worked as a research scientist with Bayer Chemical to improve polyurethane foam quality.

Kaz is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
