Hector H. Hernandez, PhD | Chief Executive Officer
A highly respected leader with expertise in biotechnology, Hector has extensive career and research experience at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), having earned a PhD in the Department of Chemistry and serving as a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholar Fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and as a faculty member at the Masdar Institute of Technology and Khalifa University. Dr. Hernandez has integrated his knowledge of microbiology, enzymology, chemistry, and systems biology to study the isolation and culture of microbial extremophiles, the identification and characterization of microbially-derived materials, and the development of new methods for engineering microbes to perform desirable chemical processes necessary for pharmaceutical, agriculture, and bioremediation. For over 10 years he has been in the United Arab Emirates, building and maintaining key relationships with local and international industry leaders, senior government officials and education institutions. As a result, Hector possesses a strong understanding of MENA customs and culture as well as expert knowledge of local business relations, corporate practices and networking protocols.
Charles I. Morton, PhD | Chief Strategy Officer
After undergraduate training as a chemical and biomedical engineer at MIT, Charles earned a PhD in Molecular and Systems Toxicology and Pharmacology from the Department of Biological Engineering from MIT before embarking on research projects in mathematical modeling of biological systems. His extensive process engineering experience spans everything from beverage production at Suntory (Osaka, Japan), and wastewater filtration (Rochem/Pall, California) to solid oxide fuel cell design and speedboat production line optimization (Arthur D. Little, Inc.). Charles is drawn to projects that derive value from the interface between engineering and science and is passionate about creating novel process integrations that deliver energy efficiency, navigate water scarcity, and address food insecurity—all crucial to the battle to mitigate climate change. Charles is deeply committed to the education and mentorship of the next generation of innovators. Since 2016 he has served as a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Brown University.
