Experience
Prior to joining APJeT, Dr. Selwyn was a staff member and principal investigator in the physics division at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Prior to joining LANL, he worked for IBM, both at the Yorktown Heights, NY research facility and at the IBM development laboratory in East Fishkill, NY. That work involved plasma processing of materials; he also held a management position at IBM for 4 years and management positions at LANL for 8 years and has completed management training through IBM. Dr. Selwyn has run his own consulting business serving over 40 companies in the semiconductor industry for nearly 10 years.
