Principal engineer/technologist with proven ability to develop creative solutions to complex thermal/fluid problems, identify new markets/customers, conceive/write winning technical proposals, and actively lead technical program execution. Products/technologies have included: two-phase loops (CPL, LHP, HLHP), mechanically-pumped loops (MPL), deployable thermal radiators (DTR), heat pipes (VCHP, CCHP), thermal storage units (TSU), differential thermal expansion thermal switches (DTE-TSW), flexible conductive links (FCL), and thermal isolators/MLI. Applications have included spacecraft, lasers, electronics, radar, lidar/ladar, and sensors from cryogenic to high temperature. Key discrimiators include:(1) architect of innovative solutions to difficult thermal/fluid problems;(2) numerical modeling of thermal systems using codes like SINDA/FLUINT;(3) technical leadership of R&D teams/projects;(4) author of over 100 technical proposals/papers, including 40 SBIR proposals with local SBs;(5) awarded 5 patents in thermal/fluid related areas;(6) in-depth understanding of thermal system manufacturing in research environment;(7) architect of effective thermal test confgurations/experiments;(8) able to convey complex technical concepts/ideas clearly/concisely; and(9) key projects have included numerous NASA, DoD, and commercial efforts.
Listed skills include Spacecraft, Thermal Analysis, Systems Engineering, Thermal, and 9 others.
