Dr. Rubinger is the author of numerous reports on technology management and technology trends including Applied Artificial Intelligence In Japan: Current Status, Key R&D Performers, Strategic Focus 1988, published by Hemisphere Publishing Corporation and Factory Automation In Japan: Key Trends and Innovations 1988, published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. His articles include “Technology Policy in Japanese Firms: Decision-Making, Supplier Links and Technical Goals”, which appeared in Technology in the Modern Corporation: A Strategic Perspective, Pergamon Press 1986. He has developed case study materials for the Harvard Business School’s course on the management of innovation.
Dr. Daddario has directed numerous FTO, acquisition due diligence, prior art, and IP landscape analysis projects for clients in the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, and Materials spaces. Her expertise spans polymer science, formulations, and she is a leading expert in small molecule structure searches. Her Ph.D. research at Case Western Reserve University focused on the synthesis of organic small molecules for use as non-fullerene electron acceptors in organic thin-film solar cells. While during her undergraduate work her research explored altering thin-film morphology in organic solar cells via end-modification of poly(3-hexylthiophene).
