Engineered Reliability: Safeguarding Electrical Components and Devices with Nanocoating Technology, focuses on real-world examples of where significant product challenges were presented (such as humidity, temperature, or corrosion) and the investment of time and resources focused on device dependability and functional testing. Data analysis from industry standard testing methodologies as well as application specific approaches will be presented.

The speaker, Richard Weiland, is director of Nanocoating Applications with HZO where he serves in a variety of roles, including support of (Tier 1) accounts to enhance and develop customer relationships and coordinate new program development. In addition, he works diligently with R&D to execute strategy for new HZO product technologies to service the broader conformal coating marketplace. He has a bachelor’s in chemical engineering from Bucknell University and held process development, project engineering, and business development manager roles with CORMETECH, a company that specializes in environmental pollution control and services prior to joining HZO. He also obtained an MBA from North Carolina State University in 2015.
