PROFILE

Determined to help transnational companies adopt a seamless integrated knowledge system that flattens the organization, where the collective knowledge of the enterprise is available and transparent to employees and customers, delivering cross-disciplinary knowledge on "first use". The Company becomes the knowledge-delivery system to its employees, improving their ability to anticipate first, take action first, and benefit first from market changes and opportunities, providing insurmountable competitive advantage.

FUNCTIONAL EXPERTISE

Knowledge Delivery - Software Engineering - Technology Development

v Currently developing programmatics and technical standards for near-term release of NASA Research Announcement for technology development leading to robust space transportation. Demonstrated success under technical and resource-limited pressures. Member of NASA's National Panel on Fusion Propulsion Technology. Developer, manager, and owner of the web-based forum through which the National Panel members are currently developing and debating the Program direction. Consulting and implementing new concepts in programmatics, including tools for managing the project through cyberspace by integrating standard office suites with Browser technology, XML, VRML, JAVA, Virtual Prototyping, and others. Goals of the new paradigm in web-based programmatics include flattening the organization, seamless software and technology integration, knowledge delivery on "first use," and public monitoring and participation in project development. Technical standards require development of user-friendly and intuitive software tools that educate as well as perform, enabling the public to use the same software tools as project management; these tools include astrodynamic navigation, space-mission-window tracking, and fusion-technology subsystem analysis.

v Developed and implemented a computer-modeling paradigm called IDEAs (Integrated Design Environment Algorithms) [1]. The IDEAs paradigm emphasizes model transparency (online viewable source code, documentation, parameter links, topic hyperlinks, and enables real-time modification), breathes simplicity (usable on first use, learnable, viewable, scalable, and maintainable), models without design prejudice (to think anew, outside the box), parameters are massively aware and dynamic (to trend realistically, to approach the reality of the real world), models the entire state-space (to discover model inconsistency), and enables users to experience the entire state-space (to facilitate discovery of optimized situations). IDEAs modeled over 1000 linked parameters for the application of fusion power to electric-power production, nuclear-waste burnup, radiopharmaceutical production, materials testing, and advanced space propulsion.

v Led a Radiopharmaceutical-Generator Technical Design Study and Market Analysis [2]. Project manager of a preliminary design study soliciting venture capital to fund a 20-M$ detailed design study of a fusion-powered radiopharmaceutical generator. Led a small team of physicists, engineers, and business people in the application of plasmas, radiopharmaceutical production, applied engineering design, market analysis, and return on investment.

v Developed and implemented the software model called CATS (Continuous Acceleration Trajectory Space) [3] used to determine near-optimum flight characteristics for advanced electric propulsion systems in space. CATS models astrodynamic navigation of theoretical high-performance fusion propulsion engines. One of the objectives of the model was to assess the infrastructure requirements needed to support a robust solar system exploration and outposting program. Discoveries included operating modes, fuel and propellant costs, infrastructure requirements, and important figures of merits to reduce the cost of technology development.

v Rated 'most comprehensive' in adaptation of fusion power technology to space propulsion by NASA Experts [4]. Authored 15 journal and conference-proceeding papers in this field. Invited speaker at U.C. Berkeley (Nuclear Engineering Department), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (GTS Institute for Transactinium Science), and MIT (National Space Society).

v Developed the mission and vision statements for a proposed university on Maui [5]. Incorporated "Knowledge-Technology" and "Transnational-Business" paradigms.

v Published over 30 scientific and technical papers in journals and conference proceedings.

v Superb communication and presentation skills - over 90 presentations and monographs on diverse business-, managerial-, and strategic-related issues.

Project Management - Organization Education

v Reduced R&D labor costs by an estimated 40% (a savings of $3.1-million) [6,7]. Co-develped and managed implementation of novel weapon-grade plutonium and actinide process and hardware technology for three government-funded R&D projects, resulting in an estimated 40% labor-cost reduction. Laboratory equipment needs and R&D schedule were also reduced. Co-authored over 20 journal and conference-proceeding papers in this subject area.

v Developed Core Intellectual Property [8]. Successfully managed the scientific effort to develop new radiation detection and analysis technology, with special application to plutonium and the actinides. This technology is currently undergoing patent application by the Department of Energy. This technology eliminates sample-matrix and point calibration sources, and has applications in environmental sample analysis as well as for remote autonomous sampling in harmful environments or on other planets.

v Developed numerous technical procedures (list available) for scientific traceability and for licensing purposes. Performed controlled atmosphere gloved-box operations, total-dissolved CO2 determinations based on ionic strength, temperature, and CO2 partial pressure, x-ray diffraction crystallography, atomic emission spectroscopy, liquid scintillation counting, sample preparations, organic extractions, and radioactive sample handling.

v Developed and Taught Safety and Quality Management Programs to Senior Management [9-12]. Taught the principles of ISO-9000 series, TQM, and Nuclear Quality Assurance Level-1. Produced the video, "Excellence and Safe Laboratory Practices." Trained QA Auditing - theory and practical. Co-developed and co-implemented the Radioactive-Waste Pollution Prevention Program. Awarded the "Outstanding Performance Award" by the Director of the E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

v Reduced the Business Burden of Quality Assurance Implementation and Auditing. Developed and implemented laboratory-specific total quality management plans at Berkeley, Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia national laboratories, and at Florida State University. Managed QA plans at the Berkeley National Laboratory. Managed the training, calibration, and QA programs at the Nuclear and Geochemistry Facility, Berkeley Labs, and successfully passed numerous DOE, EPA, and NRC QA audits.

v Developed and implemented physical and mental education programs designed to enhance quality of life for the developmentally disabled.

Operations Management

v Operated three pressurized-water nuclear reactors (on the submarines USS Scamp and USS Dace, and the land-based advanced prototype for the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower). Responsible for reactor operations and primary instrument maintenance and repair. De-fueled two reactor cores. Awarded "Sailor of the Quarter" by the crew of the submarine USS Scamp. Received two Command Letters of Commendation for "overall hard work, initiative, and good-natured attitude, contributing greatly to the successful performance of both Reactor Controls Division and the Engineering Department". Awarded commendations from the Secretary of the Navy, Unit Commander, and Commanding Officer for "an arduous search and rescue operation conducted in a fierce North Atlantic Storm resulting in the rescue of the sole survivor of the merchant vessel BALSA 24". Recognized for organizing a program for off-duty shipmates to attend college while in port.
