Background

About Bram Karsten

With a proven track record of driving transformative research in the semiconductor and biotech sectors, I'm a results-oriented R&D leader dedicated to solving complex challenges and delivering transformative outcomes. My expertise in chemistry and materials science has enabled me to develop innovative solutions for next-generation technologies in both large organizations and startup environments. At EMD Electronics, I successfully led a team that developed novel materials for semiconductor manufacturing, accelerating the adoption of DSA technology and meeting critical customer deadlines. My ability to collaborate effectively with large semiconductor manufacturers and scale up complex processes has positioned me as a trusted partner in the industry. Prior to EMD, as NJ Bio’s second employee I played a pivotal role in establishing their chemistry laboratory, contributing to the startup’s rapid growth and recognition as a leading contract research organization. My experience in delivering complex projects on time and under budget demonstrates my ability to overcome technical challenges and deliver exceptional results. As I just relocated to San Francisco in January 2025, I'm eager to connect with like-minded professionals and explore new opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research and development initiatives. Let's discuss how my expertise can help your organization achieve its goals and drive innovation.
