Patrick Herring

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.
