A Little About ​Myself.

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

I currently work at Raytheon Technologies Research Center (RTRC) as the Associate Director for Business Development. I previously worked at Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T) as the Hypersonics and Space Structures Technology and Integration Lead. I focus on technological and organization transformation and continuous acceleration and mainstreaming of innovation, improvement, and productivity to enhance business competitiveness.

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