Jeff Blair made his first air analysis instrument in high school. His practice of exploring materials, machining, and above all, making, lead him to formalize this interest with a degree in manufacturing engineering. Jeff has 20 years of experience in custom hardware, electronics development, and Aethalometry as well as product and business development.

Ivan Iskra always dreamed of becoming a link between science, industry, and interested groups in the community. Working in the field of aerosol instrumentation opened numerous possibilities for developing relationships with the best science groups worldwide. In his role at AethLabs (Business Development), Ivan is the primary point of contact for AethLabs' distributors/representatives when it comes to strategy, marketing, special projects, and sales.

Steven Blair enjoys the process of designing and making across a wide range of media. Looking to gain a solid foundation to further his interests, he studied mechanical engineering and industrial design. Steven's work at AethLabs focuses on product development.
