Responsible for organic materials – plastics, rubbers, greases, oils and adhesives. Provide technical expertise to product engineers in order to support current production and new product development across all product lines. Coordinate materials testing for validation, failure analysis and competitive analysis. Interface with suppliers and develop material specifications and documentation.

Studied PVDF piezoelectric films. Examined how pyroelectric and flexoelectric effects can be combined to increase piezoelectric sensitivity.

Designed new shipping containers and transport carts for the wing-to-body fairing composite panels on the G650 jet. Implemented 5S manufacturing principles.

Installed and calibrated lab equipment in new facilities. Synthesized and characterized Ag-MoS2 nanoparticles. Determined how the addition of these nanoparticles affected the tribological performance of lubricants.
