Mr. Wickersham earned M.S. and PhD degrees in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Illinois and a B.S. degree in Physics from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

Daniel Rooney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "We are very pleased to have Chuck join SCI's Board of Directors. His extensive thin film solar experience and established expertise regarding sputtering processes are a great fit for our Company. Chuck's professional background and achievements are also well-suited for SCI's growth strategy and future development of new products and sputtering processes."
