The Golden Empire Chapter is excited to announce our first in-person meeting of 2022!

Our next lunch meeting will be on Wednesday, April 27, at La Costa on Chester Avenue. Dr. Pete Roos, President, CEO, and co-founder of Bridger Photonics, will share how Bridger Photonics uses their LiDAR technology to provide clients in the oil and gas industry like ExxonMobil and SoCalGas with actionable and impactful data to achieve meaningful and cost-effective methane emissions reduction.

Go to the Eventbrite page for more information or to register to attend the meeting, which begins at 11:30 a.m. and ends by 1 p.m.

Your business can sponsor a future meeting for just $125 (or supply gift cards in that amount). Contact Chapter Chair Jason Goklaney for information. (Email: jgoklaney@sentinelpeakresources.com) 

In 2006, Dr. Peter Roos founded Bridger Photonics with two graduate school colleagues. Dr. Roos blends a rigorous technical background in laser physics with many years of executive experience leading Bridger Photonics. As an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado, Dr. Roos researched diode lasers alongside Nobel Laureate Dr. Carl Wieman. Under Dr. Roos’s leadership, Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR was selected for a 2019 R&D 100 award recognizing the top 100 innovations worldwide in that year. And in 2021, Gas Mapping LiDAR was included in the first ever AMEL application under the EPA’s methane rule for use as an alternative method for emissions detection.
