MORE ABOUT MARK

Evansville Tech on Tap member Mark Harper, PhD, JD presented to our Tech on Tap 6.0 meetup in February 2013. While no stranger to Evansville, Mark will be traveling from his home in Troy, Michigan to coach at Startup Weekend Evansville 3.0. Last year Mark guided USI student and Tech on Tap member  Neal Kassinger resulting in Neal’s patent filing on Sunday of Startup Weekend 2.0.

Mark earned his B.S. and M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering and his Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering in 1992 from Ohio State University. While a student at Ohio State, he was selected as a B.F. Goodrich Young Inventor and issued a patent for his graduate research. Following graduation Mark was a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.

Before returning to school in 2001 to pursue his law degree, Mark worked as a research engineer in the metals industry where his research interests included high temperature corrosion and alloy development. In addition, he served as principal investigator on two government funded alloy development programs, one involving a large collaboration between two universities and a national laboratory. Mark has over thirty scholarly publications in the material science field.

Mark is a partner at the intellectual property law firm of Gifford, Krass, Sprinkle, Anderson and Citkowski, a firm remarkable for the number of practitioners holding Ph.D.’s and the diversity of their domain expertise.
