Muslim Female CEO Is Producing Low-Cost. Eco-Friendly ‘Wonder Material Graphene
Graphene, a “wonder material” thinner than paper and 200 times stronger than steel, has many potential uses such as energy generation and tissue engineering.
It’s also one of the most expensive materials to produce.
But Arsheen Allam, founder and CEO of the Durham, North Carolina based cleantech startup GOLeafe, has developed a low-cost, sustainable alternative extracted from natural substances.
Its raw graphene is available for commercial use through a partnership with India-based Kyma Technologies.
The 31-year-old material science engineer and MBA graduate of Duke University joined Chain Reaction Innovations, a two-year entrepreneurship program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory.
