While pursuing my Ph.D. at Harvard University between 2013 and 2017, I invented a new technology to reduce the energy used in piezoelectric actuators systems by 10X. I quickly realized the commercial potential of that technology and I started to assemble the pieces to launch Boréas Technologies. Through that process I complemented my engineering skills with business skills such as startup financing, IP protection, technology licensing, and sales skills.

Boréas Technologies Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company commercializing product-differentiating integrated circuits. Our vision is to “Drive the haptic revolution through low-power electronics”.

As a result, enabling the next wave of user experiences in consumer electronic devices.

CapDriveTM is our exclusive patented, scalable high-voltage piezo driver architecture. It enables to create miniature piezo drivers using a fraction of the power and area of conventional drivers. Thus, enabling to bring the full piezo actuators benefits to the system.
