After graduating from North Carolina State University, Jacob immediately began his career in the air quality sector focusing on point source emissions testing, and quickly pivoted to begin researching next generation emissions measurement techniques.  He spent a little over five years working directly with EPA’s office of research and development implementing and creating new measurement technologies and spent time managing projects in the semiconductor industry before joining Picarro. He currently lives and works out of Chapel Hill, NC.  Outside of work he mainly enjoys spending time with his family and friends, attempting DIY projects around the house and continually learning new technologies.
