... He has served as a member of numerous editorial boards and advisory panels, as an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico, visiting scientist at the Jülich Research Center, and deputy head of site at the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Joint Work Site in Garching (Germany)
From page 10...
... He led and facilitated the Power Electronics Technology Interest Group; represents engineering in industry endeavors such as the Open Systems Joint Task Force for Power Electronics through the U.S. Air Force; is the Power Sources Manufacturer's Association chairperson for the Industry Government Committee; and is coleader of the Electronic Power Specification Standardization Industry Working Group, which writes power electronics standards under IEEE auspices.
From page 11...
... He has served on numerous national-level advisory panels for the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Department of Energy. He has 14 years' bench research experience managing laboratories at Walter Reed Hospital and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and was a visiting scientist at the National Cancer Institute.

... Young has conducted research on the development of ultrapure silicon, extrinsic semiconductors for use in IR detector programs, GaAs for a variety of electronic and optical device applications, superconductors for microelectronics, and superlattice materials for novel device concepts. Currently, she is engaged in directing the development of novel processes for materials, including semiconductors, active materials, materials for thermal management, and materials for energy and power, and in exploring innovative sensor types and designs, including MEMS devices, chemical and biological threat/environmental sensors, electromagnetic sensors, and multisensor control methodologies.
