Bio for Bryan Tracy
Bryan began his education in the Metallurgical and Welding Engineering Department at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and then got a master’s degree from UC Berkeley in Materials Science and Mineral Engineering.
At Berkeley, he was introduced to Electron Microscopy which has become a lifelong passion. At RPI, Bryan used Transmission Electron Microscopy to obtain his PhD thesis entitled “Direct Electron Microscopy Studies of the Bone-Hydroxyapatite Interface”
Moving to the world of silicon semiconductors at Intel and AMD/Spansion he became a Spansion Fellow and was the leader of the Materials Technology Development group.
Bryan joined EAG Labs as a Senior Director of the Advanced Imaging Group and followed at Tesla where he worked as a senior staff scientist dedicated to the improvement of the inverter with a focus on failure analysis.
Currently Bryan is delighted to be a Materials Science and Electron Microscopy consultant to the ibss Group in Burlingame which is dedicated to improving the performance of all types of electron microscope and vacuum chambers using oxygen plasmas to remove carbon, water, other types of contamination.
