SPECMAT and its Leadership
Dr. Maria Faur is the founder, owner,
and president of Special Materials Research and Technology (SPECMAT), Inc.
SPECMAT was incorporated November of 1996 in the state of Ohio as a "for profit" S Corporation. It was formed under a Reimbursable Space Act Agreement with NASA GRC for the purpose of developing new wet chemical processing techniques for the emerging advanced microelectronics and photonics (optoelectronics) market.
