Bio

I am fortunate to be associated with both Wright State University (WSU) and the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) where I was given the opportunity to direct a multidisciplinary research team conducting state of the art research. The ultimate goal is to establish a network of research and engineering capabilities to directly address AF challenges.  I enjoy creating a collaborative research experience between students, faculty, and government to solve challenging problems which are the focus of the AFRL in Warfighter health, performance, and sustainment. I particularly enjoy mentoring students and building research collaborations with WSU and other academic partners that will accelerate student participation and diversity.
