Jeremy Hilgar is a process engineer and inorganic chemistry PhD with over a decade of experience applying synthetic, instrumental, and computational methods to solve complex problems across academia and industry. Currently combining hands-on semiconductor process work at Lam Research with computer science graduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, he bridges experimental rigor and software-driven solutions. His background includes postdoctoral research and product-oriented roles in biotech, where he translated advanced chemical methods into reproducible workflows and automation. Jeremy has a MicroMBA from UCSD’s Rady School and practical developer experience from a startup stint, reflecting a pragmatic blend of technical depth and business awareness. Based in Beaverton, Oregon, he brings a scientist’s attention to measurement and a budding software engineer’s mindset for scalable tooling. Notably, he leverages computational methods developed during his PhD to accelerate lab-to-production handoffs in process engineering.
