Overview
Sibo is a Technology Specialist in the life sciences group. He assists in drafting and prosecuting U.S. and international patent applications, performs freedom-to-operate and patentability analyses, and conducts due diligence reviews.
Prior to joining L&A, Sibo worked as a Senior Scientist at a multinational company, where he developed molecular catalysts, PEG-based membranes, and porous materials relevant to upgrading feedstocks to higher value chemicals. He carried out his postdoctoral research at MIT, where he developed selective chemical sensors using functionalized carbon nanotubes and conductive polymers.
Sibo earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology, where his research focused on studying metal-aryl interactions in novel Ni- and Pd-containing compounds and molecular catalysts.
Sibo was a double major at Indiana University, earning Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Chemistry. He performed undergraduate research directed to computational modeling of metal binding sites in biomolecules and organometallic catalysts using density functional theory.
Sibo is an inventor on six published U.S. patents. He is also an author of several peer-reviewed articles published in journals such as the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Chemical Reviews, and Angewandte Chemie.
