Eric Wilhelm earned his SB, SM, and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from MIT, where he developed methods to print electronics and micro-electromechanical systems using nanoparticles. He was awarded the National Inventors Hall of Fame Collegiate Inventors Award, with Colin, for the development of a printing technique used to create patterns in films of nanoparticles or polymers with resolutions reaching into the 10's of nanometers. Eric co-founded Squid Labs in order to have impact through early-stage innovation, and is currently CEO of Instructables (see his profile and projects here). Eric believes in making technology accessible through understanding, and strives to inspire others to learn as much as they can and share it with those around them.
