Ryan J. Bujol, Ph.D.
Technical Specialist

Ryan Bujol, Ph.D., is a Technical Specialist. His practice includes patentability assessment and patent procurement in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology arts.

Dr. Bujol’s doctoral studies focused on the uses of supramolecular coordination cages as stabilizing environments for redox active electrochemical probes, with emphasis on electrocatalysis. More specifically, he studied the use of Ken Raymond’s cornerstone [Ga4L6]-12 cage as a host for simple metallocene derivatives, established electrochemical stability potential windows for a library of coordination cages, and synthesized an unprecedented football-shaped nanocapsule with Ti nodes which defied the known binding patterns of the ligand.

His technical areas of expertise includes electrochemistry, inorganic chemistry, supramolecular and coordination chemistry, catalysis, materials and energy storage.

In his spare time, Ryan enjoys playing music, collecting and playing vinyl, especially vintage 60s and 70s records, and watching movies. His favorite film is School of Rock (2003). He is also an avid disc golfer (PDGA #150872) and looks forward to playing in tournaments on the weekends.
