Mark Occhionero

Dr. Occhionero has served as Vice President Marketing and Technical Sales and Senior Research Scientist for the Company since 2004. He joined CPS as a Research Scientist in October, 1985 and became a Senior Research Scientist in 1994, expanding his role to include Marketing and Technical Sales in 2001.

Dr. Occhionero received his PhD. from Case Western University in Material Science. His primary focus was on uniformity of colloidal processed microstructure and their development during sintering. The basis of CPS' proprietary injection molding uses this process today to produce the AlSiC SiC preforms. This CPS process technology has also been applied to other sintered ceramic and metal power materials systems.

For the past two decades, he concentrated on materials for thermal management and power electronics and, he has authored and presented numerous papers in this field. Dr. Occhionero is also frequently consulted for his materials expertise for initial product design and on new product development by colleagues in the field and CPS customers.
