Harvard University Extension School: My lecture focused on autonomous vehicles and how they can be made sustainable in terms of their positive impact on the environment, economy and people. Considerable work is needed in the space of R&D, policy and politics to achieve sustainability.

Proposal Research, Strategy and Writing:• Serving understaffed firms submitting R&D proposals in a challenging market• Providing a competitive advantage based on a winning proposal record• Focusing on both technology and business issues, bringing a rare balanced approachExperience with proposals submitted to the DOD, DOE, NSF, DOE, DOT and ARPA-E

Dr. Everson won contracts with a major North American gas producer in Houston. He conducted detailed technology and market studies on gasification, Obama energy plan, electric grid and wind turbine integration. Provided business development and technical support for robotic inspection of natural gas pipelines, electric grid stability, and ultrasonic inspection of underground steam pipes.As a Senior Engineer at Foster-Miller, Inc., Dr. Everson won several SBIR programs and was the Principal Investigator (PI) for them. These programs included a Phase I program from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and a Phase I project from the Air Force to design and computer model micro electrical mechanical sensors (MEMS) for gas turbine engines. Northeastern University and Cornell University were subcontractors for these programs. He was the PI for Phase I and II contracts from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for the development and evaluation of a collision warning system for inner-city transit buses. He received a Tibbett’s award for this Phase II program. Dr. Everson was the PI for Phase I and II SBIR programs (U.S. DOT) to design and laboratory test a friction sensor for vehicular collision warning systems. RECOMMENDATION: “I've worked with Jeff for nearly 10 years. He's a very accomplished technical executive who pays careful attention to both the engineering and the business details of the enterprises in his charge. He's completely undaunted by enormous challenges. I recommend him highly, especially to small business needing experienced and technically astute help.” Dr. Tony Aponick, VP, Foster-Miller Inc_managed Jeffrey indirectly at FOSTER-MILLER, INC. (now a division of QinetiQ North America)

RECOMMENDATION: “Jeff and I worked together for a number of years at Foster-Miller, Inc. and I found him to be a hard worker who would dig deeply into understanding a market and a customer’s needs in developing a program and proposal opportunity. He is skillful in putting together engineering information into a strong coherent proposal, which has a high probability of winning in a competitive environment.” Dr. James Dill, VP, Foster-Miller, Inc.
