When you work with a retired 3M scientist with over 50 patents like Rolf… you KNOW you’re dealing with a really sharp person. But what we here at The AIM Institute also learned was that Rolf is incredibly easy to work with and a goldmine of PRACTICAL ideas. Our main product is Blueprinter software, used for B2B voice-of-customer interviews, and Rolf was instrumental in the addition of AI functionality. Our clients absolutely love this feature, which lets them prepare for and reduce the number of “real” interviews. If you need a brilliant, easy-to-work-with consultant for AI or technology development in general… you need to talk to Rolf!

Dan Adams

CEO, The AIM Institute

I have worked with Rolf for many years in an organization that I directed. Rolf is a very skilled practical scientist often working on the highest technology projects with thoughtfulness, maturity and innovation. He reliably brings the projects to completion. I can always trust Rolf to give me an unbiased view of technology and its potential for success.

Alan Hulme-Lowe

Executive, 3M

Dr. Rolf Biernath has consistently been able to come up with elegant solutions to very difficult technical problems. He is very knowledgeable about the competitive patent landscape and is thorough about developing patent strategies to protect inventions. Rolf has also demonstrated his ability and commitment to follow through with the development work to deliver solutions that meet business objectives.

Rolf is a very creative problem solver. He thinks “outside the box” and understands a very broad spectrum of technologies and sciences. His solutions often integrate software, electronics, and material science.

Vincent King

Senior Technical & Business Strategist, 3M

Rolf is one of best innovators in 3M. His ideas can be seen now in different areas in the company, including chemical formulations, optical systems, and electronic software. One person can do a lot of inventing at 3M during their career, but their inventions would be usually in one narrow area. It’s rare that someone can deliver great contributions across many divisions and markets.

Rolf has a very unique skill set. He has a chemical engineering PhD. Also, he is very good at physics, optical design, electronics and
software. At 3M, we can never separate the material from process and applications. He is the right person to build the bridge between them.

Rolf is a good leader and a valuable team member too. He contributes a lot; he shares a lot; he helps a lot.

John Wheatley

Division Scientist, 3M

Rolf is well suited to inventing across many diverse technical areas. He is a disciplined user of well established creativity methods and is able to go from need to solutions with these in many fields of technology. He is not shy working from the fuzzy front end and there are not many like him in that respect. Then he can take it from ideas and thoughts to his hands as well and get it done. This front to back is his best asset.
