Jared O

Jared O’Leary is the co-founder and CEO of SirenOpt, which makes a real-time sensing and software platform based on cold atmospheric plasmas to improve the yield, performance, and safety of advanced coatings, thin films, and mirco- and nano-scale materials, which are critical components in batteries, aerospace, semiconductor, and many other advanced manufacturing segments. O’Leary earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from UC Berkeley, where he investigated learning-based methods to characterize, model, and control advanced materials manufacturing processes. He co-founded SirenOpt to commercialize the technology he helped develop during his doctoral work. Previously, O’Leary worked as an engineer and team lead at Theranos and earned a B.S. with honors and distinction in chemical engineering at Stanford.
