J. Patrick Frantz received BA (1995) and MEE (1997) degrees from Rice University and returned to Rice in 1999 to serve as the Executive & Technical Director for the Center for Multimedia Communications. In 2006 he was awarded the Outstanding Young Engineering Alumnus award for his efforts in international engineering education. Shortly thereafter, Patrick moved to Japan, working in the semiconductor and display industries (Xilinx, Barco and UniPixel Displays) and receiving an MBA from Temple University Japan in 2011. Patrick is currently the President & CEO of planarTECH LLC in the US and CEO of Cambridge Graphene Platform Ltd in the UK.

Via proprietary solution processing techniques, Cambridge Graphene Platform develops and produces low-cost printable inks derived from graphene and other 2D layered materials, addressing limitations that have impeded the progress of the plastic electronics industry for decades and representing a crucial step forward in enabling fully flexible electrical components and connecting interfaces. Cambridge Graphene Platform's inks are composed of chemically pristine graphene (or other 2D materials), are produced with a scalable production process, require no post-processing and are suitable for many coating techniques.
