Harris A. Goldberg received his Ph.D. in condensed matter theory from the University of Massachusetts in 1975. After a postdoc at the University of Toronto, he began an industrial research career at the Celanese Summit New Jersey research center in 1978. Working first for Celanese and later for Hoechst Celanese, he made technical contributions and led business development teams in numerous material science areas including carbon and graphite fibers, intercalated graphite, optical recording, non-linear optics, photorefractive polymers, packaging materials, and dielectric composites. He has over twenty patents, and has co-authored over forty technical papers as well as a book entitled The Physics of Carbon and Graphite Fibers.

In 1999, he co-founded InMat LLC with his partner, Dr. Carrie Feeney, and with the support of their technical team. InMat has continued to lead the development of nanocomposite barrier coatings, and had its first commercial success when Wilson Sporting Goods introduced their Double Core tennis ball, the official ball of the Davis Cup, in July of 2001. In April of 2003, InMat LLC became InMat Inc. with Pangaea Ventures, NGEN Partners, and DSM Venturing making a significant financial investment.
