Aneeve Nanotechnologies is a startup company spun-out of UCLA and USC developing nano enabled electronics to bridge the gap between emerging and traditional platforms for communication and digital applications. The company was founded in 2007 by supplying pristinely aligned carbon to Northrop Grumman for high performance RF device applications. Aneeve is currently based on campus at the UCLA Incubator within the new $175M California NanoSystems Institute building. Aneeve’s larger mission is to develop superior nanotechnology-based electronics for emerging markets in wireless and nanodiagnostic applications where cost and power consumption are key concerns. The company is divided up into two main thrusts 1)  ”low cost” printed TFT carbon electronics for display, energy harvesting and nanodiagnostic applications and 2)  ”high performance” CNT electronics for highly linear RF circuits and high performance passive elements for RF communication products.
Our team nurtures a geeky love and passion for nanotechnology. We innovate, we invent and we take our ideas and dreams to the next step by executing and propelling higher every day. Our workplace nurtures out-of-the box thinking. We nurture a motivating and exciting workplace that draws from the positive spirit of our colleagues and the UCLA campus – we grow younger and stronger. We respect our workplace, we respect our natural surroundings, we are driven by humanity, our families, our self-respect, our natural talents and the many opportunities before us.
