A Little About ​Myself.

​I am a Composites Subject Matter Expert (SME) with expertise in manufacturing, experimental testing, and FEA modeling of textiles, polymer matrix composites, and ceramic matrix composites for armor, aerospace, satellites, hypersonics, and other applications.

I currently work at Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T)  supporting Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) programs. I focus on technological and organization transformation to continuously accelerate and mainstream enterprise-wide innovation, improvement, and productivity to enhance Boeing's competitiveness.

I have previously worked in both Industry and Academia and have made seminal and major research contributions to the field of composites.
