Alex Teng is a Partner at Fifty Years.

Previously, he worked at startup Divergent Technologies, where he helped develop a new manufacturing system for vehicle structures leveraging metal 3d printing, structural software design, automated assembly, and new materials. While there, he also helped build and develop hypercars that burned renewable methanol. He has experience with manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and operations.

Alex has a Caltech PhD in Environmental Science -- essentially a combination of chemistry, microbiology, and atmospheric physics. For his research, he chased hurricanes, agricultural fires, and air pollution aboard NASA’s DC-8 flying laboratory. While at Caltech, he also had a lot of fun researching termite gut microbiota and developing coffee roasting and extraction protocols. With friends, Alex also founded and ultimately wound down a startup at Caltech to commercialize causality algorithms.
