Aaron Wolfe expects to finish up his Ph.D. in physics this semester. He has been working on his doctorate since 2011 and should have been done by now, he says, but a few things have gotten in the way—like helping to run a company, Ichor Therapeutics, of which he is chief operating officer.

“I have always wanted to run a biotech company,” Wolfe says. And in fact, he co-founded a company once before.

His company brought a product to market, but like most startups, it failed, and he moved on. For more information, please visit SU News
