A great friend

Ellis was near and dear to all of his friends at Solidia Technologies.  He was both our most vociferous critic and our staunchest supporter.  We will miss him dearly.

Over the years, the Solidia team and Ellis crossed paths around the world; in Paris, Lyon, London, Beijing and New Jersey.  Among the most noteworthy of these interactions came in April 2016, when Ellis presented the keynote address at the M. G. McLaren Lecture Symposium at Rutgers University. His talk, entitled "An Overview of Green Cement Technology" capped an afternoon in which he shared the podium with Richard Riman, Distinguished Professor of Materials Science at Rutgers and founder of Solidia, Vahit Atakan, Director of R&D at Solidia, and his good friend Jan Olek, Professor of Civil Engineering at Purdue University.

Attached is a photo of the four speakers (left to right, Riman, Atakan, Olek and Gartner).
