City Labs is a development stage manufacturer of batteries for microelectronics, sensors and other small devices commonly used in defense, homeland security and medical implant markets. City Labs was founded by Dr. Peter Cabauy and Denset Serralta in April, 2005 and is based in Miami, FL. Core Team:Peter Cabauy, City Labs, Inc. Chief Executive Officer
His thesis work was in Quantum Information Physics at Argonne National Laboratories (ANL) and he co-authored a publication with his thesis advisor, Dr. Paul Benioff, a seminal pioneer in the field of Quantum Computing. While completing his doctorate, he also worked on a microelectronics research project at a Department of Defense (DOD) Laboratory. In 2003, he founded and directed the Office of Entrepreneurial Science at Florida International University advising in intellectual property matters, and laying the groundwork for its technology incubator program. In 2005, Peter co-founded City Labs where his diverse experience in technology entrepreneurship, experimental and theoretical physics has been instrumental in both structuring the company and developing its product line. Denset Serralta, City Labs, Inc. Chief Technology Officer
Mr. Serralta has 27 years of experience in the embedded hardware/ software design field and has worked as a consultant for various defense and aerospace firms within the past 10 years. His areas of concentration are Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Object Oriented Design in various computer languages and for several Operating systems (vxWorks, Solaris, proprietary and Windows) and hardware platforms. Mr. Serralta has also assisted client companies with analysis for the selection and integration of Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) components for development and production phases. Applications have included radar, sonar, and communications and control DSP, network hardware and software, avionics and biotech. He has performed his work per military and other government standards most of his professional life and holds Six-Sigma certifications at client sites. Dr. Larry Olsen, City Labs, Inc. Director of Research
While continuing his betavoltaic research, Dr. Olsen became a professor in Washington State University’s materials science dep’t. During his long tenure at WSU, Dr. Olsen carried out R&D in Si-based solar cells, GaAs, and CuInSe2 (CIS); this included proprietary efforts in MOCVD growth of GaAs-based devices related III-V semi-conductor compounds. Dr. Olsen joined DoE’s Pacific NorthWest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2000 and developed programs in photovoltaics, thermoelectric energy conversion, and radiation detectors. He has an extensive publications list of nearly 100 articles and now joins the staff of City Labs, after having recently retired from PNNL. Dr. Olsen received his Ph.D in Solid State Physics from the University of Kansas. Dr. Bret Elkind, City Labs, Inc. Senior Scientist
Dr. Elkind’s diverse technical background includes failure analysis, Nondestructive Evaluation [UT, XRD, optical, radiography], Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy, mechanical testing, microstructural analysis, and ballistic testing. His career history spans commercial, government, academic, and start-up endeavors including armor design & manufacturing, Anti-Submarine Warfare systems analysis (Secret Clearance), structural engineering, construction materials testing, oceanographic sciences, and medical devices. Just prior to joining City Labs, Dr. Elkind served as Chief Scientist / Radiation Safety Officer for The Protective Group—an armor manufacturer for the U.S. Army. He has experience in project management, technical writing, generating collaborative relationships with military laboratories, universities, and supply vendors. Dr. Elkind earned his BES, MSE, and Ph.D degrees in Materials Science / Metallurgical Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland, where he was also a Post-Doctoral Research Associate and member of the Alpha Sigma Mu Materials Science Honors Society. |
