STEMchain is excited to add Dr. Kenneth Blank to our Board of Advisors!

Kenneth J. Blank, Ph.D., has served in senior scientific research leadership roles at universities over the past 20 years. He has focused on fostering “use-inspired” research programs, that result in technology development and commercialization, to promote regional economic development.

“In many cases during my career, I have been asked to help develop STEM programs for high school students. I have considered it one of the most valuable ways I could contribute to the future of our young students and to the continued development the workforce for science and engineering research. An educated and creative workforce in the STEM fields is essential to continue making new discoveries that can be commercialized and brought to the marketplace to benefit society. I believe that STEMchain provides an important new mechanism for funding STEM programs to assure that we sustain a creative and vital workforce.”
