Pixelligent Technologies named Dr. Neil Pschirer as VP of product development and Strategy. A materials expert and deep-tech entrepreneur, Dr. Pschirer will direct the applications roadmap for Pixelligent’s PixClear, PixJet, and PixNIL Designer Compounds, align the product mix to market needs, and lead the productization programs that will drive growth for the company.
