E Club invited Brainco President Mr. Max Newlon to discuss brain-machine interface technology, the future of the industry, and the lessons learned along the way as he helped grow one of the largest and most successful BMI companies in the world.

亚美联谊会AAA of Boston联合NECINA的E-Club (Entrepreneurs Club) 创业者俱乐部,恰第10届亚美节9/25/2020将举办一期全线上“中美跨越太平洋的创业者座谈交流会”,继续2019年去年同期的《中美摩擦且砥砺共赢 •美中不足但路在脚下》话题,当下疫情未罢中美贸易战升级逐步政治化和即将投票的美国大选两党争论路线角力之关头,2020年的确是一个世界格局充满变数的黑天鹅之年。欧洲“五月花号”来到美国波士顿鳕鱼角至今400年,中美两国重启接触到开放交流沟通全方位合作又竞争的40年而砥砺加速摩擦甚至贸易战纷争基本上集中爆发在过去的区区4年之间,不免唏嘘!世界应该和而不同,不同的文化制度国家和最重要的芸芸众生如何有智慧的求同存异,草根老百姓普普通通企业之间继续狭缝创新共赢前进的努力号角不应该停滞,其实这里没有主角和特别主题,本着抛砖引玉互相尊重观点包容的出发点,美其名曰:大家一起《且行且珍惜,Keep Going!》

还是去年几块砖头,跨越中美的几位草根创业者开个头,希望和俱乐部成员及网络线上朋友们众多参与者一起畅所欲言交流思想碰撞,时代洪流下的小人物们如我们念兹在兹,还是要关注当下或分享交流一些简单的常识(潮水之后愈发重要了)和面向未来的决心信心,如何做更好的自己并能涓涓细流汇聚成河,点点星光照亮彼此,且行且珍惜共克时艰!

这次将全程虚拟线上会议通过online-zoom-meeting诚邀有兴趣参与交流相关话题的各界朋友加入进来,共话未来。

Dirk Burrowes  President of Vytek Industrial Laser System

Dirk is a Boston local entrepreneur, President at Vytek Industrial Laser Systems based in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Mr. Burrowes, 57, is the oldest of three sons born to Kurt Burrowes, an MIT graduate who founded a company in the 1960s called Burrowes Research that served as the first workplace for all of his sons. Under his father’s unofficial and enduring mentorship, he learned the ropes that would eventually allow him to open his own business. Since 1988,Vytek has evolved from a single laser-engraving machine designed for the memorial (gravestone) industry, something of a side job, to a full exploration of different applications of the technology. The company manufactures cutting, engraving and marking equipment for a wide variety of markets and applications. Vytek has 40 employees — including brother Ted Burrowes, who functions as Vytek’s operations manager — and $10 million to $15 million in annual sales. 2019 Vytek got a china expansion plan to leveraging USA-China joint technology and manufacturing efforts to develop and marketing high power laser cutting & welding machine while serve the both country’s interest of US and China.

 
 
Dr. Rong Sun 

孙嵘 Rong Sun 毕业于南京大学。后赴加拿大戴豪斯大学(Dalhousie University)攻读硕士学位,师从著名的热力学专家 Mary Ann White 教授和著名的锂电池材料学专家J eff Dahn, 从事基于硅锗的超晶格热电材料的研究。毕业后赴世界顶尖的美国MIT麻省理工学院材料科学与工程系,师从著名的物理学家,半导体材料专家Lionel Kimerling攻读博士学位,从事大规模硅基光电子集成的设计和制造工艺的研究。毕业后于2009年初加入美国初创公司 Aegis Lightwave 神盾光波公司,从事应用于远程通讯,光纤通讯的可调制的薄膜型滤光器的研发。公司于2011年被美国上市公司II-VI成功收购。离开神盾光波公司后,加入了美国Thermo Fisher Scientific 赛默飞舍尔公司,从事世界前沿的各种手持光谱仪项目的研发。值得一提的是成功领导了与美国航空航天局合作的近红外光谱仪的研发工作(NASA Resolve 项目)。为 NASA 度身定做的光谱仪将跟随着美国最新的登月车于2019年发射登月,在月球上从事水分和有机物的研究。孙嵘博士率团队于 2016 年落户张家港大新镇激光产业园区,成立了苏州星帆华镭光电科技有限公司,开展了手持 LIBS 合金光谱仪项目的研发及生产,经过 2 年多的艰苦科研,产品于2018 年下半年正式上市销售,第一代产品主要针对不锈钢及铝合金产业,目前为国内首家可以生产 LIBS 光谱仪的厂家。孙嵘博士分别于 2016、2017、2018 年度获得了张家港领军人才、姑苏双创人才及江苏省双创人才计划。手持 LIBS 激光诱导击穿光谱仪是近两年崛起的新兴技术。利用灵敏的光谱仪分析该发射光谱,通过电脑分析可以得到材料中元素的种类和相应的含量。 LIBS 技术无需取样和进行样品制备,对样品表面的破坏性可以忽略不计,几乎适用于所有的金属和非金属元素的检测。对生产过程进行高速,高效的监控,提高产品的良品率。成为生产过程中的一个不可或缺的环节。
