MIOX has a culture of innovation and it all starts with our science team. MIOX technology was developed under a government contract to create a portable water disinfection unit for use in any remote location. In addition, the technology was designed to achieve purification standards of Type II, highly contaminated water as defined by EPA. The result? MIOX mixed oxidants.
Over the years, our world-class scientific team has worked with numerous agencies, including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other internationally-recognized scientific institutions and universities, to build a substantial body of scientific documentation to demonstrate the dramatic improvements in human health when mixed oxidants are used to treat drinking water.

Justin Sanchez
Vice President, Engineering
Justin joined MIOX Corporation in early 2006, coming from Advent Solar, where he utilized his multidisciplinary skill set as Director of Operations to bring a pilot line manufacturing facility from an empty room to first customer shipments. Prior to Advent, Justin spent over seven years at Intel in progressively more responsible engineering and manufacturing positions. He also worked as Chief Engineer for energy industry startup company Qynergy, where he was responsible for device system integration and performance, establishing and executing to development timelines, and supply chain management. Justin has undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including a BS and MS in Materials Science and an MBA from the Sloan School of Management. He was a participant in MIT’s Leaders for Manufacturing Program. |

Dr. Susan Rivera
Ph.D. Biochemist
Manager of Research and Applications. Susan joined MIOX Corporation in February of 2006, from Sandia National Laboratories. With over 15 years of research and policy experience, Susan leads the technical team to better understand on-site generation of disinfectants and develop new applications. Methods include laboratory research, sales and customer support, in addition to field pilot studies. She and her team also partner and contract with academics and government agencies to find solutions to growing water purification challenges. Prior to MIOX, Susan spent two years in the field as the lead bioscientist within the International Biological Threat Reduction Program at Sandia National Laboratories. Assignments included secondment to the World Health Organization to help develop policy documents. She earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Utah and maintains certifications relevant to water disinfection applications. She is also active on the Disinfection Committees of both AWWA and WEF.

Dr. Wesley L. Bradford
Ph.D. Chemist
Wesley has 37 years of professional experience in hydrology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, water chemistry and environmental investigations. He directed research leading to the development of a new system for on-site generation of a mixed-oxidant solution for treatment and disinfection of potable water and wastewater, and continues to conduct research on additional applications and product improvement for the company, MIOX Corporation, formed on the basis of that research. He conducted research on membrane processes, including Reverse Osmosis, for desalination and waste water. He has also successfully consulted on methods and operations for treatment of potable water and wastewater, cooling waters, swimming pools and in food processing applications. Wesley has over 50 peer-reviewed publications in the fields of geochemistry, hydrogeology, and chemical analysis, and has prepared over 50 documents discussing MIOX operations and applications. He holds several patents and a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences and Environmental Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University.

Dr. George Bajszar
Ph.D., Principal Microbiologist
George has 25 years of experience in applied biotechnology research and technology development. Currently his focus is on the potential of applying molecular biology and diagnostic methods for detection, monitoring and disinfection of waterborne pathogens. Prior to joining MIOX, George was founder and Chief Scientific Officer of M3C Systems, a small business in Albuquerque, NM, focusing on waterborne pathogen detection and disinfection testing. He was Director of Biotechnology Research and Development at IcX/MesoSystems (Albuquerque, NM), and served as a chief scientist of the company from 2000 through July 2006. He was principal, co-principal investigator and principal scientist in a number R&D projects funded by a total of approximately $3.9M of federal grants (NIH, NSF, DoD, DHS, DoA). George has over 60 peer-reviewed publications and holds several patents. He is adjunct professor with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and holds a Ph.D in Molecular Biology.
