Profile Summary

Development of advanced ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, intermetallic such as iron and Nickle aluminides, processing of materials by melting and casting, extrusion, rolling, swaging, drawing operations, mechanical properties testing and analysis. I also developed exothermic process known as Exomelt for melting of iron and nickel aluminides, and transferred the process to foundries for large scale melting. Developer of superhydrophobic technology and its commercialization. Developed chemicals for adding to oil wells and other hydrogen sulfide containing medias to eliminate the hydrogen sulfide. Developed disinfectants and followed their testing and approval through EPA. The chemical and disinfectant developments lead to starting my own business. As a consultant, helped developed coating processes to eliminate oxidation of steel during hot stamping processes. Also, as a consultant Over 65 patents in a diverse fields.
