Areas of Opportunity
Working Together to Achieve Excellence
Sustainability
People, prosperity, and the planet. As engineers, we understand the challenges of creating energy in a usable format to meet the expectations of the consumer, the challenges of producing food and its associated supply chain. Working from a life cycle perspective, we describe the systems-level interactions critical in today's society. Awareness of climate change, adaptation, and resiliency allow us to understand the value of technology in meeting your needs.
Fuel Cells and alternative energy
Research and technology development in the applications of fuel cells for the generation of electricity. Our primary focus has been on the conversion of resources to produce hydrogen, with an emphasis on the stability of the catalyst system. New technologies that consider the use of 3D printing to make fuel cell materials is being explored.
Leadership in a changing world
Technical knowledge balanced by political and economic reality has provided the basis through which we approach our work. We build the right team to address the challenge. Working partnerships lead to practical solutions. With over 15 years in a variety of leadership roles, I bring the experience needed to manage a project to a successful conclusion.
