Founder Story
Dr. Zeiss Wang founded Academic Fab with a vision to accelerate scientific innovation through rapid prototyping and expert problem-solving. With more than 20 years of experience in device fabrication, he recognized that device developers need experts who can quickly solve technical challenges, provide manufacturing services, and deliver comprehensive solutions for reliable production.
During his graduate research on a nanochannel drug delivery device involving intricate nanoscale fabrication, Dr. Wang faced severe limitations in available tools and services. Each design iteration took months instead of days, significantly restricting his research progress and highlighting a critical gap in the scientific manufacturing ecosystem.
Academic Fab ensures this challenge doesn't limit your work. We leverage cutting-edge tools and research expertise to bring your designs to life with the highest probability of success. Serving researchers, startups, and enterprises, we combine deep domain knowledge with engineering ingenuity—and we excel at addressing non-standard manufacturing needs.
Dr. Wang brings expertise in both technology and business development. He previously worked with Magic Leap on its first-generation augmented reality device and developed a breakthrough technology that reduces drug delivery particle manufacturing costs and time by a thousandfold. He has secured multiple SBIR grants and raised millions of dollars in funding for startup ventures.
Dr. Wang earned his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin and his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
