Heidi spoke with Saul Griffith this week and had a great chat about life, climate change, hydrogen, and some of the work Saul has done throughout this career. It was a pleasure speaking with him and this is one of my favorite chats so far.
A bit of background on Saul, he is an inventor and entrepreneur but was trained as an engineer.  He received his Ph.D. at MIT in the junction between materials science and information theory. Prior to MIT,  he studied in Sydney, Australia, and at UC Berkeley in metallurgical engineering.
He founded and co-founded numerous technology companies based in the Bay Area. These include Treau, Sunfolding, Roam Robotics, Fablight, Wattzon, Canvas Construction, Makani Power (acquired by Google), Instructables.com (acquired by Autodesk), Squid Labs, Howtoons, Optiopia, and Potenco.

Currently, he is  Founder and Chief Scientist at Otherlab, an independent R&D lab that helps government agencies and Fortune 500 companies understand energy infrastructure and build transformational technologies that bring us closer to 100% decarbonization.

Thank you for all the work you do Saul!
