Our Team
Glauco R. Souza is Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of n3D. Glauco is one of the inventors/creators of n3D Bio-Assemblers. Prior to co-founding Nano3D, he was an Odyssey Scholar at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. During his work at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Glauco has applied a multidisciplinary approach to develop nanotechnolgy tools for tissue targeted imaging, gene delivery and tissue engineering. He also has held the position of R&D and Manufacturing Scientist at KPL, Inc. (biotechnology company) for several years prior to joining M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Glauco R. Souza has a B.S. in Chemistry, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from
The George Washington University.
David J. Lee is the President and Interim CEO of n3D. David is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Covelo Group, LLC a leader in vendor management services and related technologies for the Engineering & Construction (E&C) sector. David co-founded and launched Covelo in early 2008 and was involved in all aspects of company start-up including funding, finance, operations and business development. Covelo had annual revenues in excess of $18 million in its very first year of operations and has been profitable since company inception. David brings over 18 years of experience in strategic sales and marketing, outsourcing, management consulting, and operational management. David Lee holds a B.A. from the University of Colorado at Boulder and has completed executive coursework at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
Thomas C. Killian received a B.A. in Physics in 1991 from Harvard University, and then attended Cambridge University on a Marshall Scholarship. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he completed his Ph.D. in atomic physics in 1999. At the National Institute of Standards and Technology, he initiated experiments on ultracold neutral plasmas, which are orders of magnitude colder than any neutral plasma ever produced before. In 2001, Dr. Killian joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at
Rice University, where he continues experiments on ultracold atoms and plasmas. He is also a co-founder of two bio-technology companies that use electromagnetic fields to manipulate and probe biological structures.
Robert M. Raphael received a B.S. in Physics and Philosophy in 1989 from the University of Notre Dame. He then completed an M.S. and Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of Rochester, where he studied the mechanical properties of cell membranes. At Johns Hopkins University, he performed postdoctoral research in Biomedical Engineering and Hearing Science and developed a new electromechanical model of auditory hair cell function. In 2001, Dr. Raphael joined the Department of Bioengineering at
Rice University, where he continues to research in membrane and auditory biophysics. He is also a co-founder of two bio-technology companies that use electromagnetic fields to cell function.
Carly S. Filgueira received her B.S. in Chemistry with ACS certification from
The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.. She then completed both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry at
Rice University, where she studied the fabrication and characterization of optically responsive nanostructures. In 2005, Carly was sponsored by the National Science Foundation to attend the 55th Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Germany. While at Rice University, Carly also received the Harry B. Weiser Award for Excellence in Service, a Keck Nanobiology Fellowship, and the Harry B. Weiser Award for Outstanding Research.
