Founder, Chairman and CEO at Quantum Age Corporation
Faiz Chowdhury's career took a significant turn in 1997 with his role at Intel Corporation. His time at Intel was a period of profound realization about the vast potential of technology to enhance human life. Merging these insights with his early life experiences, he envisioned a world free of hunger, poverty, pollution, and diseases. Motivated by this vision, he left Intel to pursue broader goals. In 2009, his career trajectory intersected with MIT Professor Ian W. Hunter, an inventor with an extensive patent portfolio. This crucial meeting led to him joining Nucleus Scientific, Inc., co-founded by Professor Hunter. Here, he developed innovative "in-wheel" motor technology, marking a significant advancement in the electric mobility sector. This partnership with Professor Hunter evolved into Quantum Age Corporation's (QAC) co-founding. As CEO, he played a central role in spearheading the development of various transformative technologies. His initiatives at QAC included fast-charging solutions, net-negative solar vehicles, innovative methods for early cancer detection, and the cultivation of highly efficient tree species for carbon sequestration. Additionally, his work expanded into next-generation solid-state and graphene-enhanced battery technologies alongside pioneering blockchain-based solutions for carbon trading and fintech.
Throughout his tenure at QAC, he assembled a team of diverse and skilled professionals, including entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, and business executives. This team was vital in transitioning these groundbreaking technologies from conceptual stages to commercial viability, playing a crucial role in addressing critical global issues and fostering positive change. In 2021, Faiz established Quantum Green Corporation (QGC), focusing on commercializing technology platforms for carbon sequestration, storage, and reduction. This venture directly responded to the global emissions challenge and aligned with his vision for a sustainable future. He curated a team at QGC with expertise in low-carbon economies, ESG principles, and efficient business strategies, demonstrating his commitment to creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.
