Speaker Bio:
After growing up in Oregon, Zach Wright attended Case Western Reserve University and graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering.  He then obtained a Ph.D. from Stanford University with a thesis titled, “Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) Biodegradable Foams: The effects of processing, nanoscale additives, and aging.” Zach returned to Oregon in 2013 and has worked at Nike in the area of footwear materials innovation since.  

Talk Summary:
The influence of chemical research and application are often overlooked in the consumer product industry.  In this talk, I will demonstrate how the engineering thought process and deep technical knowledge leads to new product innovation.  As a case study, Nike Anti-Clog will be discussed from the early concept development phase through mass commercialization.
