• Authored over 28 peer-reviewed publications and presentations.
• Developed a professional development course in additive manufacturing to support division outreach.
• Supervised implementation and certification of ISO 9001:2015 within the company.

Mentor and player-coach to three division directors to develop product visions, technology roadmaps, funding strategies, and R&D practices to support $2-6 million in annual funding.

• Direct hands-on experience with semiconductor manufacturing, process development, and as program manager and researcher microfabricated sensors and packaging.
• Extensive experience developing white papers, quad charts, marketing materials, and peer-reviewed publications to commercialize precision sensors and complex microfabrication processes.
• Developed and collaborated with universities and small businesses in new industries to apply our sensing technologies to microfabrication opportunities beyond environmental sensing and systems.
• Built and sustained a collaborative environment and culture with four process engineers and a $1M annual budget from a single project as a solo researcher. Fostered a culture and opportunities for leadership experience and career growth with junior employees.
• Won the first National Science Foundation and Department of Energy grants.
• I made a strategic hire to replace myself and grow the bid and proposal capacity.
• I worked with university teammates and hired three student team members to continue work on projects.
• Applied design of experiments to quantify process variability and increased yield on multiple processes to over 95%.
• Mentored and trained BS and MS engineers in plan-do-check-act when developing critical R&D processes on tight deadlines.

• Founded Engeniusmicro as a sole proprietor writing SBIR proposals and working as a Research Scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology.
• Strong organizational and technological skills built early relationships with universities and business to win R&D funding.
• Won 3 $100k efforts developing processes for nano-scale surface patterns to amplify Raman spectroscopy response and wireless environmental sensors.
• Presented research, testing procedures and experimental data to customers and new partners to catalyze further research and funding.
• Won first $750k effort based on nanoscale surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
• Brought in 3 new partners in 2010 to leverage network at US Army research facilities in Huntsville, AL.
