The following companies are or have been associated with our group.
| Company | Relationship |
|---|---|
| BIOSYM | Computational chemistry software company; its Catalysis and Sorption Project was begun by John Newsam, Tony Cheetham, Richard Catlow and Galen Stucky in the late 1980s. The company was sold to Corning in 1992, merged with MSI in 1995, merged with Synopsys and Oxford Molecular Group in 2000 to become Accelrys. |
| Gas Reaction Technologies (GRT) | In 2001 GRT funded research and development at UCSB, which was carrried out jointly by GRT (Jeff Sherman) and UCSB scientists (Galen Stucky, Peter Ford, and Eric McFarland). The discovery in 2001 of the solid reactant technology by the team showed that the production of methanol and dimethyl ether could be achieved from methane. The breakthrough was the identification of unique, regenerable, solid "cataloreactants" used for the selective conversion of bromine- activated hydrocarbons (including natural gas constituents) to higher value fuels and chemicals. Eight U.S. patents were issued and foreign patents were subsequently obtained to protect the intellectual property for commercialization |
| High Throughput Experimentation (hte) | hte is a leading provider of technology and services for enhancing research and development productivity, in particular in the areas of catalysis, material science and formulations. hte is a Heidelberg-based company started by two ex-postdocs of the Stucky Group: Ferdi Schüth and Dirk Demuth. The company now has more than 120 employees and it was recently sold (75%) to BASF. |
| SBA Materials | Founded in 1998 with faculty colleagues Brad Chmelka and Dan Morse |
| Z-Medica | Major startup company licensee from UCSB of Blood Clotting Coagulation Agents developed by the Stucky Group.
