Judy Feuerbach 1st First degree connection, Product Marketing Manager January 8, 2011, Judy worked with Mark but on different teams
- “Mark was terrific to work with on many levels. He could see market potential in his research and technical discussions with clients that he would propose as a new business or product opportunity. He could explain highly technical material and educate co-workers, clients and executives. Mark was supportive of the company, all initiatives, and all marketing/sales requests and needs. He is a leader in the industry and in his interactions within the company, management and clients. I would look forward to working with Mark again and highly recommend him.”

Anurag Mittal 1st First degree connection Manager, Material Science and Characterization / FA Lab at Apple, Anurag worked with Mark but on different teams May 27, 2009,
- Mark is a world renowned scientist in the field of AMC (airborne molecular contamination) in electronics industry. I had the pleasure to work with him for ~8 years (1996 - early 2004). He is an excellent mentor. He has worked with almost all major semiconductor, photovoltaic, FPD, LED, Laser, Optoelectronics, and disk drive manufacturers in the world to solve a variety of contamination problems. His efforts have saved companies millions of dollars. On several occasions he has prevented potential shut down of companies by offering timely advice with regards to reliability and yield related issues. He is well respected by his customers because he works with them to understand their issues and design appropriate experiments to solve problems.
Paul Newman 1st First degree connection Innovation Requires Empathy 2009, Paul worked with Mark but they were at different companies March 19, 2009,
- Mark does excellent work, and has been great to work with in many different business interactions. We have recommended the services of him and his company to our customers and received great reviews of their experience working with him.

- Allyson Hartzell 1st First degree connection MEMS and Reliability Scientist MEMS and Reliability Scientist April 17, 2008, Allyson was Mark’s client
- Mark is first of all a very knowledgeable and good person to work with. His outgoing and good natured personality matches well with his amazing ability to process huge amounts of complex information at any time! He is by far the best Airborne Molecular Contamination scientist in the US, and is well respected internationally for this topic. Yet this is not his only expertise or topic he works on. Mark is very versatile and always trustworthy in his work and information in every field we have discussed. I would recommend Mark as a service provider, consulting scientist, team member, co-worker and friend to anyone that needs his considerable talents.

Answers to some FAQs
Question: What is best system to improve my home indoor air quality?
Answer: no simple answer, and need to consider your needs and whether you own home, have central HVAC system with recirculation etc.
ASHRAE, American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning is now recommend you should try to use at least MERV 13 rating filter. I have still better MERV 16 filter for my home, but need a more powerful fan for this. If you rent or have no control of your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), you can also buy a HEPA filter unit for the room where you spend the most time. Consumer reports does periodic reports objectively evaluating stand alone room air purifiers. Your local library has copies if you do not subscribe.
For my home HVAC, I have 5 inch deep filter box that allows MERV 16 to be used. I also installed UVC light in duct shining on upstream surface of filter to inactivate any trapped pathogens. Note that the UV light does lead to cracking of upstream Lenox polymer filter pleats in a little over 6 months, although the filtration stays excellent for months longer. I do monitor my air CO2 concentration with a CO2Meter.com CO2 NDIR meter and try to get more fresh air if CO2 is >800ppmv. I also have www.purpleair.com particle counter in home that shows excellent air quality for particles, equivalent of ISO 6 cleanroom, and AQI = Air Quality Index often 0-1 if windows are closed and air is recirculating. Specific homes might need other considerations like C filters for ozone and heavier organics removal. If humid locations, dehumidifiers might be helpful to reduce mold/fungi/biofouling.
