Irina E. Pomestchenko is a registered Patent Agent (USPTO Registration # 79, 278), a scientist, and an inventor who is licensed to practice and to represent clients before the United States Patent and Trademark Office in patent cases. Irina holds an M.S. degree in Chemical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Photochemical Sciences, wherein she conducted research directed to photochemistry and photophysics of metal complexes. Upon completion of her doctorate degree, Irina worked as a research associate at the Brookhaven National Laboratory under DOE alternative fuels initiative, wherein she studied solar energy conversion and photochemical water oxidation. Irina has over 15 years combined laboratory and industrial experience in materials science, chemistry, and pharmaceutical sectors. She co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals and presented her research at scientific conferences.

Irina knows the unique IP needs and financial challenges faced by startups first hand. Working as a scientist for a startup, she developed multiple polymer nanocomposite materials for 3D printing applications along with printable batteries and light source devices, implemented their manufacturing processes, and was instrumental in bringing them to the market. While working for the startup, she was listed as an inventor on six U.S. and international (PCT) patent applications.

Being an inventor herself, Irina can personally relate to the inventor's needs and addresses them in highly professional, timely, and budget savvy manner.
