MEET THE FOUNDING TEAM

  • Born and raised in a small town is Eastern France, Eric moved to the US in 2014 to work as a research scientist for Saint-Gobain’s ceramic composite division. In 2019, he joined Tesla as a Global Supply Manager to lead the Li-ion anode material sourcing team. Eric met Peter when he transitioned to Tesla’s in-house 4680 manufacturing organization to manage various dry electrode programs. While at Tesla, he realized that the lack of scalable quality control solution was slowing down the transition to electric mobility, which prompted him to co-found Glimpse. Eric holds an MSc in Quantum Physics from Ecole Centrale Paris and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

  • Peter grew up in the small yet lovely state of Delaware. After moving out west to Stanford for his PhD, he developed machine learning methods for battery lifetime prediction and optimization, during which he met Patrick. Peter then joined Tesla, where he met Eric. There he worked as an engineering lead on some of Tesla’s toughest battery failure modes and managed a team focused on cell CT scan analysis. Peter co-founded Glimpse to work at the intersection of a massive global problem close to his heart and deep technical challenges in X-ray imaging, computer vision, data analysis, and battery science. While Peter has received honors such as Forbes 30u30, he has not written a bestselling book on aging.

  • After growing up testing nuclear reactors in the desert, Patrick went to college at Caltech and graduate school at Harvard. After a detour through MIT, he eventually found the exit and left with a PhD in Material Science. His research convinced him that batteries were critical to our future, so he set out to make them better and more powerful. Doing this for a while, he realized that battery failures were a huge and under-addressed problem. At Toyota Research Institute, he led a project to build an informatics platform for batteries and, with Peter, used machine learning to predict how they might fail. Then, he joined Zitara, a battery software startup, to lead the modeling group. But as battery quality was still on his mind, he decided to co-found Glimpse to enable it at scale.

  • Owen is a full-stack software engineer from Canada. He moved to the Boston area over ten years ago first for a career in environmental engineering consulting, where he worked on projects around the world. He moved to software and has been building web applications in a variety of roles in the energy space for the last five years. Owen has experience working with clients and customers in product and customer experience engineering roles, and is excited to help design and build the right product the battery industry needs.

  • Amariah is a lifelong Bostonian who is passionate about climate tech and renewable energy. After completing her MSc in Applied and Computational Mathematics in 2020, she joined a hydrogen fuel cell company’s R&D department right as they were establishing their Boston lab and global headquarters. During her tenure there, she worked to set up two labs and saw how her love of organization and systems could be applied to operational excellence. In the fall of 2023, she joined Glimpse as Founding Operations Engineer, eager to facilitate high-volume EV battery quality control monitoring. Amariah oversees facility operations and works closely with Eric to ensure customer success throughout their client journey.

  • Jim is a rural midwesterner whose passion for mathematics and physics led him to pursue a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Arizona. Soon after defending his PhD, he began his career as an x-ray image scientist. Having spent 28 years in the medical field, he gained experience in a wide variety of computer vision technologies ranging from classical image processing to state-of-the-art machine learning. Prior to joining Glimpse, Jim was the Director of Computer Vision and AI at a large medical imaging company. He joined Glimpse as a Founding Image Processing Engineer where he is excited to apply his image science expertise to help drive the development of automated inspection software for the quantification of key battery features.

  • A native of the Great Lakes State, Bailey graduated with a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Entrepreneurship from Michigan State in the Spring of 2020. Promptly moving east to Boston for a job market, they started as a data engineer working on petabyte-scale ML testing and evaluation pipelines contracts for the DoD. Bailey joined Glimpse as the Founding Backend Engineer in October 2023, focusing on scan processing pipeline’s performance and stability. Thriving in the pacing of startup life, they’re deeply excited and motivated to continue pushing Glimpse’s scan processing in a class of its own. In their free time, Bailey enjoys working on and camping in their 4x4 camper pickup, as well as hacking on personal software projects.
