“The number of students who are
being educated in science,
engineering, technology and math [in
China and India], is growing
enormously at a time when our
number of students who are
graduating in those areas in American
universities, is remaining flat. ..."

• Recognized by ASN(RDA), Top Engineers of the Year
• World’s first High Temperature Superconducting
system
• Led team of that included Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Carderock Division, Ship Systems
Engineering Station (NSWC CD-SSES) Philadelphia
• Demonstrated aboard the USS Higgins (DDG 76)
 Breakthrough Research — HTS Degaussing
•
•
•
•
Cloaks ship’s magnetic field
Increases ship safety
Reduces energy consumption
Lightweight, potentially saving 30%
• Saves space for added mission payload
degaussing
