Memoirs of Coming to the Spotlight

After working for fifteen years at a number of places in the US, following my PhD education, I cofounded my own business in a high-tech area starting from the scratch. The business, BCS Fuel Cells Inc., was in the innovative area of making a clean energy power generator. This was a simplified procedure of making PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells. I attracted the attention of scientific professionals in the fuel cell area around the world. We sold fuel cell products, made presentations, published papers, and got patents. I received praise and admirations of many in my field of expertise and from customers using our products. This was the spotlight I received as innovator, entrepreneur, and scientist. My business continued for twenty-two years. The business had to be stopped because of my health problems. Bad health was responsible for not allowing me to continue my corporation for a longer time.
