A strong ecosystem behind Chiral
Chiral is backed by experienced deep-tech investors supporting our path from research to industrial scale.
Meet our Team
PhD in nanotechnology at ETH Zurich with a BSc in mechanical engineering at UC Berkely. He started working with nanomaterials as a research assistant at the Seoul National university at age 16 and co-authored his first paper at 19. As CEO he drives the company’s strategic orientation and fundraising efforts.
PhD in precision motion engineering at ETH Zurich with 10+ years experience in machine control technology with motion systems used by ASML at TRUMPF and ETEL. As CTO he is managing our technology roadmap and patent portfolio. As COO he oversees day-to-day operations of the company.
PhD in precision motion engineering at ETH Zurich and a Master’s degree in mechanical engineering. At Siemens his research resulted in a patent for a system manufacturing AI model and his research on mechanical nanoelectronics assembly allowed industrially viable manufacturing. As CPO he leads the engineering team and the development of our prototype.
PhD in nanoelectronics at University of Basel and Master in Fundamental Physics at the École Normale Supérieure and Polytechnique. With over 10 years of experience in nanotechnology, she is an expert in fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials and her network has been instrumental in securing our first business opportunities.
PhD in nanoelectronics at TU Delft and multiple years of experience with nanoscale molecular junctions and implemented new electronics with the lowest noise ever reported. His role at Chiral involves the fabrication and characterization of our nanomaterials and final electronic devices.
More than 15 years of experience in mechanical machine design at Sensirion and 9T Labs where he designed and built wafer processing machines for 200mm wafers. He is responsible for the designing of mechanical components of the next-generation assembly systems.
Master in Finance from HEC Lausanne with experience at Teralytics. At Credit Suisse he was in charge of financial controlling, liquidity planning and forecasting of a business unit. As Strategy Consultant at Accenture he was an IT project Scrum Master and shaped multi-billion business cases. At Chiral he owns financial controlling and forecasting, and coordinates project management efforts.
PhD from the University of Basel. With expertise in nanofabrication and characterisation he led high-impact nanomaterial projects, reducing the gap between research and industry through integration of emerging materials. He is now leading our nanofabrication efforts in the cleanroom at BRNC.
What's New at Chiral
Nanomaterials startup Chiral raises $12m seed to build the ‘next ASML’
The Swiss startup has built a high-precision robotic system to handle nanomaterials and position them on a chip.
Chiral raises $12M to unlock post-silicon computing beyond Moore’s Law
The new funding will allow us to further advance making post-silicon computing chips based on nanomaterials manufacturable at wafer scale.
Automated robotic machines could be the solution to the nanotechnology problem
The lack of control in existing nanotechnology production methods, primarily chemistry-based, has hindered their commercialization to date. This is where Chiral, a Swiss nanotechnology firm, comes in.
Chiral powers next-generation electronics with nanomaterials as it raises $3.8m
Nanotechnology company Chiral is incorporating nanomaterials into electronics with the speed, precision, and control that can transform future chipmaking.
Why Chiral Thinks It Can Extend The Life Of Moore’s Law
The Zurich-based company has developed innovation it hopes will power a new generation of microchips – and therefore a new generation of even more powerful computing and technology.
Chiral wins CHF 150,000 to accelerate nanoelectronics production
Chiral joins two other breakthrough teams recognized for turning cutting-edge science into real-world solutions at Switzerland’s leading innovation award.
