	Dr. Wasiq Bokhari
	Email: wasiq@quantuminsight.com Wasiq is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Quantum Insight. He works with Fortune 500 companies on the adoption and commercialization of materials and nanotechnology with applications in energy, IT and medicine. Wasiq also works with entrepreneurs, early-stage startups and multiple venture funds in to help emerging nanotechnologies cross the “valley of death”. Before founding Quantum Insight, he was part of the founding team and Senior Vice President of Products of Clickmarks, an enterprise infrastructure software company, subsequently acquired by Semotus Solutions. Wasiq received his Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked in the group headed by Nobel laureate Jerome Friedman. He was part of the team that discovered a fundamental particle called the top quark at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in 1995, one of the most prominent physics results of the decade. He is an author of more than 50 scientific and technical publications, and is cited as an inventor on 8 US patents, granted and applied. He has co-authored a widely recognized report on the potential of nanotechnology for the California Commission for Science and Technology (CCST). He is also the co-founder and Steering Committee Chair of the MIT Stanford UC Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum. Wasiq currently works with PCAST (Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) on issues related to energy.

	Mr. Anthony Waitz

As a Managing Partner at Quantum Insight®, which he co-founded in 2001, he works with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies, to promising startups, to prominent venture firms. Anthony also co-founded the MIT·Stanford·Berkeley Nano Forum, a non-profit educational organization which has become the most respected group of its type in the Bay Area. Additionally, Mr. Waitz has been active in many other nanotech community activities such as serving on Congressman Honda's Task Force on Nanotech, serving on the executive committee of Joint Venture Silicon Valley's nano initiative, and authoring a chapter on commercialization of nanotech for a report to the California legislature. Prior to focusing on emerging small technology, Anthony was a Director at Synopsys Inc. where he had a number of different roles ranging from being responsible for the silicon IP strategy to running engineering for one of the business units. Mr. Waitz came to Synopsys through the acquisition of Silicon Architects, of which he was a co-founder. Silicon Architects' products were used in approximately 100 million products over the span of a decade. Mr. Waitz holds Masters degrees from Stanford School of Engineering and the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

	Advisory Board


	Dr. Jerome I. Friedman
	Dr. Jerome I. Friedman received his Nobel Prize for the discovery of quarks in 1990. He developed and conducted experiments that demonstrated that neutrons and protons are formed of quarks, the fundamental energy packets from which all matter is composed. Prior to this, he was head of the MIT Physics department from 1983 to 1988. More recently, he was the president of the American Physical Society from 1998 to 2000. Currently, Dr. Friedman serves as an Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and consults US administration on scientific and technological development matters.

	Dr. Charles Holloway
	Dr. Charles Holloway has been on the faculty of the Stanford Graduate School of Business since 1968. Currently, he holds the Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers Professorship in Management, and is also co-director of the Stanford Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the Graduate School. He holds a BSEE from the University of California, Berkeley, as well an M.S. in nuclear engineering and a Ph.D. in business administration from UCLA.
