Christopher D. Taylor

Chris Taylor has devoted his career to unlocking the power of deep tech to solve industry’s most complex challenges — combining scientific rigor with commercial strategy to turn breakthroughs into business value.

 

From his early days modeling atomic interactions in corrosion systems to leading national lab efforts on nuclear materials and sustainability, Chris has always believed that high-impact innovation begins with deep understanding.

 

But it’s not just about insight — it’s about uptake.

​

Today, as an Account Executive at QC Ware, he’s at the heart of the deep tech revolution. Christopher helps manufacturers and chemical companies harness quantum simulation for real-world advantage, shaping product demos around client use cases and building bridges between advanced science and enterprise scale.

 

His focus is simple: make emerging technologies accessible, scalable, and relevant to the people who need them most.

​

Previously, he served as Principal Engineer at DNV, guiding TRL advancement across government and industry projects, qualifying novel alloys for harsh environments, and driving decarbonization efforts with predictive modeling and materials design.

 

He continues to push scientific boundaries as Associate Research Professor at Ohio State University, where his group explores corrosion-resistant alloys, coatings, and environmental degradation using computational methods.

 

With over 120 peer-reviewed publications, two published books, and leadership roles in corrosion and sustainability communities, Christopher is trusted by R&D leaders and founders alike.

 

Whether guiding startups toward product-market fit or advising directors on technology transitions, he transforms complexity into clarity — and vision into action.
