2027 MetOx Futures Invitational
An invitation-only, on-site summit for exceptional PhD & Master’s candidates
Engineering + Innovation | Houston, TX | January 26–27, 2027
Step Into the Future of Superconducting Power Technology
The 2027 MetOx Futures Invitational brings a select group of exceptional PhD and Master’s candidates to Houston for a 2-day immersion in the science, engineering and advanced manufacturing behind high-temperature superconductivity.
Present your research. Get inside the technology. Meet the people scaling it. Interview for a place on the team.
This is by application, invite-only, all-expenses-paid experience for graduate talent ready to work across disciplines, solve at first principles and help build the technologies behind the next generation of energy and computing.
Applications close November 20.
“The Futures Invitational gave me direct access to engineering teams across MetOx and a chance to show where my skills could contribute. It opened my eyes to what it takes to bring technologies I knew from labs and research into high-volume manufacturing. For a graduate researcher, that connection between your expertise and what a company is building is incredibly valuable.”
Emmanuel D. | Senior Process Engineer
Attended our inaugral Futures Invitational in January 2026 and joined MetOx in April as Senior Process Engineer. Emmanuel has a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona University, and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
Sreekar V. | Senior Research & Development Engineer
Selected to attend the inaugural Futures Invitational in January 2026 is joined MetOx in April as a Senior R&D engineer. Sreekar has a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from PSG College of Technology, India, and a Master of Science and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Riverside.
“Since joining MetOx, what has stood out most is how open the leadership is to new ideas, and how quickly those ideas can move from tabletop experiments into high-volume manufacturing. In my role at MetOx I’m contributing through defect analysis and new MOCVD process development. Seeing that work put into practice is deeply satisfying.”
