Gallox Semiconductors, led by Jonathan McCandless, Ph.D. ’23, has been selected for the fourth cohort of the Breakthrough Energy Fellows, a group of entrepreneurs focusing on technology that reduce greenhouse gases. The startup will develop gallium oxide-based electronic components with enormous potential to reduce energy losses from inefficiencies in electrical power conversion.
The Breakthrough Energy Fellows are a part of Breakthrough Energy’s Discovery platform that provides technical support, funding and business resources to the innovators working in industries that have been difficult to decarbonize. This hands-on support allows the fellows to bring their climate technology to market faster and bridge the gap between innovation and implementation.
