Agham is co-founder and CTO of La Luce Cristallina, serving as lead production engineer since 2023. Previously, he was a research scientist at the Materials Physics Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin, where he was instrumental in developing the technology used by La Luce Cristallina to manufacture its products. Agham received his B.S. in Applied Physics from the University of the Philippines in 1994 and his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Yale University in 2007. His graduate student work addressed the integration of functional complex oxides on semiconductors using molecular beam epitaxy and RF sputtering. He moved to the University of Texas in 2009, where he worked with Professor Alex Demkov on the development of various oxide-semiconductor integration technologies, including Si, Ge, and GaN. He also managed the experimental research efforts of the Demkov Group. He has co-authored over 120 research papers, several book chapters, and 8 patents on this topic.
