Sean Teller

Dr. Sean Teller is a Partner at Veryst Engineering. Dr. Teller has extensive experience in mechanical engineering, with specific focus in the mechanical behavior of materials at low and high strain rates, including viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, nonlinear materials, and fracture mechanics.

His work has spanned many disciplines, including polymer characterization and failure analysis, tissue engineering, biomaterials, equipment design, aerospace applications, and semiconductor manufacturing. His interests include designing, performing, and interpreting experimental data to characterize materials and industrial processes over wide ranges of conditions to accurately understand their operation, performance, and failure.

His experience includes polymer characterization, experimental methods, building and designing equipment and test fixtures, stress simulations, analyzing equipment performance, machine design and performance, failure analysis, hydrogels, animal dissections, sample preservation, clean room use, and composite materials.

Prior to joining Veryst, Dr. Teller was a Yield Engineer at Intel in defect metrology supporting high-volume semiconductor manufacturing. He participated in both sustaining defect activities as well as defect reduction in leading edge technologies, including new technology startup and legacy processes.
