My first blog

Hello everyone,

This is the beginning of my first blog. I am a voracious reader of economic blogs, thus, I want to contribute in my specialty area, technology. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shawn Coffee and I have my Ph D in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. The dissertation focused on nanotechnology and the similar processes that make microchips. Currently, I work at Cerium Laboratories (subsidiary of Spansion) as a Materials Engineer in Austin, TX, which I reside. We are the characterization laboratory for Spansion's fab25. Cerium performs analytical work for both internal and external customers from a whole host of industries: semiconductor, solar, automotive, military, academia and a variety of start ups. That is what inspired the name of the blog, because I sit at the crossroads of future technology. This blog will be updated about twice weekly with insightful analysis. Comments are always appreciated.
