NANOTRONICS IMAGING, MICROSCOPY AND SOFTWARE LEADER, ADDS TWO TECHNOLOGY VISIONARIES TO ITS TEAM

Brooklyn, NY — May 12, 2014 / (http://www.myprgenie.com) — Nanotronics Imaging, a leading microscopy and software company, has added two key people with extensive and distinguished scientific backgrounds to its technical team.  The company is developing and providing new tools that enable nanotechnology to revolutionize a wide range of industries, from silicon chips and computer hardware to medical diagnostics and e nergy storage.

Software and technology innovator Nicolas Heron has joined as Chief Technology Officer. Heron, who holds an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Institut Superieur d’Electronique du Nord (ISEN) in Lille, France, had previously been Vice President of Software Engineering at ImaCor Inc., where he provided technical vision and leadership to develop the Zura and EVO(TM) ultrasound imaging platforms and the ClariTEE(R) probe. Over the past 18 years, he has been a software and technology leader in a wide range of industries including defense, banking, storage virtualization, cryptography and medical imaging.

Nanotronics Imaging also named Paul Roossin as its new Science Director. Roosin has spent the past dozen years launching and growing several technology start-ups and consulting with others including Nanotronics. Earlier, after research at The Rockefeller University, where he explored the neural substrates of memory, he joined IBM’s TJ Watson Research Lab, where he and his colleagues created the first statistical machine translation system, which pioneered the use of machine learning techniques for linguistic problems. He also was the technical lead for the first commercially available, large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system.

“Having Nic and Paul join our team brings world-class technical skills and imagination to support our shared vision for what’s possible with the right tools,” said Matthew Putman, the CEO of Nanotronics Imaging. “Breaking new boundaries, which is our goal, requires the dedicated support of top talent.”

The company also announced early plans for expansion of its New York offices and research facilities in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Nanotronics also has research and development facilities in Cayahuga Falls, OH.

Founded in 2008, Nanotronics Imaging is a high-tech, cutting edge microscopy and software company delivering rapid testing and analysis solutions to sectors ranging from materials science and semiconductors to life science and medicine. Its business nearly quadrupled in 2012 by offering tremendous value and efficiency to inspection systems in the semiconductor sphere.

Its nSPEC(R) delivers crisp images, rapid results, accurate quantification and categorization of defect size, characteristic, placement, distribution and other factors. The nPATHtm, launched in early 2012, is an automated, microscope inspection system that expedites and enhances the life scientist’s skills and ability, helping count cells, quantify and qualify cell polymorphisms and pleomorphisms, analyze nuclear size and density, identify various characteristics on biomaterials, and increase throughput and reduce costs at clinical, surgical and cytopathology offices.

Co-founders and father and son duo, John and Matthew Putman, have extensive experience in the field of testing. TechPro, their previous company, manufactured more than 20 different types of equipment to test and analyze various elastomers and plastics.
