Nathan E. Stacy

Nathan graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He then attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, receiving a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1988. While at Purdue, Nathan performed research on the photochemistry and photophysics of organometallic compounds. After receiving his Ph.D., Nathan completed a year long term as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering at Purdue, where he performed research on biodegradable, natural-synthetic copolymer systems.

Nathan joined Phillips Petroleum in 1989, where he worked on developing new polymers. From 1994 through 1996, Nathan worked as a Technical Sales and Service Associate, traveling to customer shops in North America, Europe, and Asia to assist in resolving technical problems in the processing and use of polymers. From 1996 through 1999, he worked as a Process Chemist at a polymer production facility in Houston, Texas, where he was in charge of polymer production reactors producing 900,000 lbs per day. In 1999, Nathan returned to a laboratory position at as a Senior Chemist developing new products for a polymer product line. In addition to product development, Nathan's responsibilities included assisting counsel in obtaining and defending intellectual property. As part of these responsibilities, Nathan attended opposition hearings in front of the European Patent Office, and participated in the management of a patent portfolio.

Nathan passed the Patent Bar in April of 2002, prior to starting law school at the University of Tulsa in the fall of that year. While attending Tulsa University, Nathan served as Articles Editor for the Journal of Comparative and International Law. During law school, he continued to work in the research laboratory at Phillips (now Chevron Phillips Chemical Company) through early 2004, when he left his full time employment. From that time, until graduation from law school, he continued to consult for Chevron Phillips. Upon graduating from the University of Tulsa with Highest Honors in May of 2006, Nathan moved to Houston, Texas, to join Fletcher Yoder.

Nathan's diverse experience has given him expertise in numerous technological fields, including polymer, inorganic, and organic chemistry, materials science, software, instrumentation, process control, and mechanical systems.
