Jay C. Hanan, Ph.D.

(“Dr. Jay” — pronounced like “Canon” with an “H”)

I solve material and manufacturing challenges that are impacting performance, yield, and scale.

Technical Fellow, engineer, and educator with 300+ patents focused on solving critical issues in polymers, packaging, and manufacturing systems.

Typical areas where I am brought in:

• Polymer and packaging performance (sealing, creep, durability)

• Manufacturing variability and yield loss

• Scale-up challenges from concept to production

• Rapid root cause identification and resolution

Experience

300+ Patents | Former Chief Scientist, Niagara Bottling | Technical Fellow, Origin Materials | Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University.

I have led and contributed to solving complex material and manufacturing challenges across both industry and academia, often in high-stakes production environments.

How I Help

I work with teams to quickly identify root cause and define a clear path to resolution. Engagements are focused, practical, and designed to produce measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and manufacturing outcomes.

Select Collaborations

Work has supported programs and organizations including NASA, NSF, ONR, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and industry partners such as Costco, Wal-Mart, MaxQ, and WebCo.

Discuss a Challenge

If your team is dealing with a technical issue impacting performance, yield, or scale, I would be glad to take a look.

Additional Work

In addition to my work in materials and manufacturing, I am selectively developing media and storytelling projects, including faith-based historical adaptations.
