I have spent a number of years creating materials for the physicists at the laboratory, working on remediating hazardous wastes, several years in texile fibers technical problems, and a variety of miscellaneous ventures with NASA.

I have a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the College of William and Mary and a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Northwestern University. I am a life-time member of Sigma Xi.

I have authored or coauthered 80 citable papers on over a dozen major topic areas and a number of miscellaneous topics. See Publications for complete, detailed list.
