• Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University.
• M.S. Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University.
• M.S. Mechanical Engineering from U.C. Berkeley.
• B.S. Mechanical Engineering from U.C. Berkeley.
• Licensed Engineer in CA

He holds a doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering. He researched plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond-like carbon (DLC), fluorinated DLC,  and low k dielectrics. He has extensive experience in thin-film processing, equipment, and nano-scale characterization.  His background in mechanical engineering makes him equally comfortable with the mechanical and thermal properties of materials and electrical, optical, and magnetic properties. He works with many high-tech industries, such as semiconductors, solar, flat panel displays, and general industries. .  

Dr. Glew is a licensed professional engineer (P.E.) in California in the mechanical engineering branch. He practices both mechanical engineering and materials science engineering, largely focusing on high-technology concerns. He also performs finite element analysis (FEA), computation fluid dynamics (CFD), and 3D CAD modeling.

Dr. Alexander Glew has practiced engineering in the Silicon Valley for 30 years.  He founded Glew Engineering Consulting 20 years ago after a decade at Applied Materials. His practice at Glew Engineering Consulting includes product design, 3D CAD, semiconductor device analysis, semiconductor equipment design and analysis, laboratory analysis, integrated circuit tear downs, project turn-around, market studies, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics. (CFD). His clients include Fortune 20 companies, startups, and midsize companies. He sees firsthand some of the unreasonable and misguided challenges CA imposes on our businesses and jobs that drive industry and our opportunity out of this great state.  http://www.glewengineering.com

Dr. Glew is also very experienced as an expert in court.  He provides IP litigation support, including patents, trade secrets, economic espionage, and large-scale industrial disasters.  He provides expert opinions on patents, large-scale industrial accidents, technology contracts, and arbitration. 

• US Federal District Courts
• International Trade Commission
• US Patent Office (IPR)
• Taiwan High Court
• International Arbitration (IAAA)
• Federal Court of Australia

 His testimony has contributed to findings of patent infringement, patent invalidity, inequitable conduct, permanent injunctions, and significantly large monetary damages.  Recently the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals cited to his testimony 10 times in preserving the validity of a number of patents owned by a single inventor against three of the largest global corporations in the semiconductor industry.   He has also served as an expert for the anti-Trust Division of the US Department of Justice in the largest proposed merger in the semiconductor equipment space.     

Alex Glew was born in S.F. CA and raised in Pacifica, CA, located in Northern San Mateo County, part of Senate District 13.  After graduating from U.C. Berkeley he moved to Silicon Valley and has lived there since.  Currently, he lives in Los Altos, CA. He has been married for 26 years to his lovely wife Martha. He has lived in this district his entire other than when studying at UC Berkeley. He knows this district and how to make it better.
