“Adrian possesses a most unusual ability to intersect technology options with the art of the possible in science. He holds 75 patents and numerous awards, has received many awards for leading complex design-engineering embodiments, and in the past several years has pressed toward implementation of consumer properties and products that are technically elegant. He displays constancy of purpose to find ‘uses’ for cutting-edge invention, and has a peculiarly adept sense of the possible intersection of what people need, what people want, and the advancements his inventions will enable. From internal combustion engines, physical chemistry, material properties, and design off-ramps to new directions, Adrian is the most impressive innovator in my experience.”

Amazing ideas, amazing person, and a pleasure to work with if you get the chance. Complete forward thinking.”
