Gustavo A. Vásquez M Ph.D.
A passionate and inventive molecular engineer, Gustavo is the original inventor of Amplify Dynamics’ core purification technology, developed during his doctoral work in acoustofluidics and microfluidics at the University of Chicago. As co-founder and CEO of Amplify, he leads the company’s scientific vision, product development, and early commercial strategy.
Gustavo brings a deep technical foundation in ultrasound-based particle manipulation, paired with a drive to solve critical challenges in biomanufacturing and nanomedicine. His research on high-resolution, contactless nanoparticle separation laid the groundwork for Amplify’s first product—an electroacoustic filtration platform that accelerates purification workflows and improves recovery.
Shaped by his experience as a Latino founder, Gustavo brings a global perspective, relentless perseverance, and deep-rooted passion to the company’s mission. He holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Engineering from the University of Chicago, where he worked with Prof. Juan de Pablo and Prof. Melody Swartz on precision acoustofluidic systems.
