Jason Crisp
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer
A graduate of the electrical engineering program at Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis, Jason's experience in high voltage technology is centered in the medical field. As Lead Service Engineer for TriMedix in Indianapolis, Jason was responsible for keeping critical medical imaging equipment (MRI, x-ray, CT scanners, etc.) up and running. 25 years in the industry and many hundreds of hours of manufacturer training has bolstered his understanding of the operation of these high voltage machines. This understanding is critical to the success of the DES technology and the safe development of each iteration.
Jason's vision is key to the future of the technology. A voracious consumer of information from research publications to the latest developments in energy control technology, his commitment to learning has been the driving force behind the technology's efficacy. A thirst for understanding pushes him to expand avenues of development; from identifying target pests to ag industries with tough pest management challenges where DES could well be the solution. Because of Jason's passion and understanding the potential of the technology is seemingly endless.

Dr. Ekaterini Riga, PhD
Co-Founder & Research Advisor
Dr. Riga has over 20 years of experience conducting and directing global scientific research programs related to the control and eradication of plant parasitic nematodes, associated plant pathogens and insects. Using applied research originating at the laboratory level and ending at the field level, she specializes in solving problems at the crop production level with emphasis on the development of sustainable pesticides for controlling economically important plant parasitic nematodes, plant pathogens and insects in vegetable crops, tree fruits and small berry fruit crops; as well as evaluating the impact of sustainable pesticides on non-target invertebrates.
Dr. Riga’s multidisciplinary career in research and development has encompassed a broad variety of studies, with an emphasis on: plant parasitic nematode and insect sustainable control management, and invertebrate behavior and physiology. With over 50+ professional refereed articles, 150+ conference, seminar and workshop presentations, numerous University and Extension articles, proceedings, and web pages, Dr. Riga has earned an international reputation as an experienced and valued lecturer, technical trainer, and knowledgeable peer mentor and evaluator in her field of expertise.
Dr. Riga has been able to enthusiastically convey her research and current findings to key stakeholders, and instill a sense of passion and eagerness for learning and discovery in the undergraduate and graduate students and personnel she has had opportunity to supervise and educate; and her most notable achievement is that all her honor undergraduate and graduate students have created successful and sustaining careers in science or science-related fields.
As a university researcher and lecturer she successfully obtained nearly $2.0 million in funded contract research from international industry stakeholders such as Dow Chemical, Bayer AG, Valent, Syngenta, and DuPont for which she performed field trials in potatoes, apples, grapes, and red raspberries. In addition, she has obtained funding from the European Union, Canadian government, the United States Department of Agriculture and Washington State grower commodities.
