Consultant for autonomous vehicles providing research for trucking organizations, insurance underwriters, and lawyers

Physicist with extensive applied engineering experience with a winning proposal record and successful program management. These skills are the basis of my consulting to support clients with proposal preparation and writing. Experience with proposals sent to the: DOD, DOE, DOT, NSF, ARPA-E

Prior to forming his consultant practice in April 2009, Dr. Everson was Director of Business Development for QinetiQ North America, Technology Solutions Group (previously Foster-Miller, Inc.) in Waltham, MA. By identifying and cultivating a major North American gas producer in Houston, he won contracts for technology development related to deliquification of gas wells. Dr. Everson planned for product manufacture, distribution, sales, and installation. The work in progress is leading to multimillion-dollar markets for improved gas production.During his tenure at QinetiQ North America, Dr. Everson conducted detailed technology and market studies on coal gasification, electric grid/ wind energy integration, and Stirling engines. He worked with a venture capital source regarding robotic platforms for inspecting natural gas pipelines to support a federal government inspection mandate. Dr. Everson reviewed technologies to improve downhole steam generation for bitumen production in Canadian tar sands with the Universities of Alberta/Calgary, and the Alberta Research Institute. He performed technology and market research to preserve electric grid stability using overhead power line sensors. He wrote a white paper for a major utility company about preventing explosions in underground steam pipes using long wave ultrasonic inspection. As a exploratory marketing venture, he visited ethanol plants in South Dakota to review operations.★ 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. (now a division of QinetiQ North America), Waltham, MA 02451

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: “Jeff is an innovative researcher, able to collect and analyze market information coherently. He is able to open new markets effectively. He is also a joy to work with, having a superb sense of humor, and a balanced attitude about life.” July 5, 2009 ➜Leslie Gray, Director, Morgan Group LLC worked with Jeffrey at QNA/FOSTER-MILLER, INC.

Won and managed $1.5 million in contracts from the U.S. DOT regarding collision-avoidance and driver-assistance systems.
